I always look forward to asrivkin's new creations and Neil Park is a worthy addition.

Actual MLB ballgames were played in Columbus, Ohio at Neil Park. The statistics for the Negro Leagues from 1920 through 1948 now count as official MLB numbers and for the one 1921 season the Columbus Buckeyes played in the eight team Negro National League and they played their home games at Neil Park.

When one creates a 1921 season with Negro Leagues included using OOTP23 he will find the eight teams of the Negro National League along with one independent 1921 Negro Leagues team--the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants (wrongly named in the game the New York Bacharach Giants). The Chicago American Giants had the best 1921 record in the NNL and the Columbus Buckeyes are included when the league is created for that season. One has to get into commissioner mode to tweak the NNL rosters and lineups to more properly fit those found at a source like Seamheads.

I set up a 1921 season, tweaked the rosters of the American Giants and the Buckeyes, placed the Buckeyes in Neil Park, assigned caps and jerseys by nopepper to the two teams, added my own custom camera angles and my own custom sounds (stretch song from 1920) to Neil Park, and gave each of the teams my own shorter pants with black shoes to fit the era. I played the resulting 1921 NNL game at Neil Park and placed it on YouTube for free viewing:

Note: it sounds like nopepper is considering updating his historical Negro Leagues uniforms. i wonder if additionally team logos could be added for any of them?
Note2: i mentioned that creating a Negro Leagues with OOTP23 for 1921 gives a nine team league. now four of those teams have proper homes:
American Giants played in South Side Park by silvam14 (called Schorling then)
Indianapolis ABCs played in Washington by asrivkin
Bacharach Giants played in Inlet by asrivkin
and now
Buckeyes played in Neil by asrivkin

Thank you asrivkin!
