There's a SABR article about the ballpark for those interested.

I made this one over a year ago, I'm honestly a bit surprised I didn't post it at the time. I don't remember terribly much about the process, I think it was relatively easy to make since I was pretty experienced by the time I tried to tackle it. It has ~1910s-1920s ads. There's a factory beyond the left field walls that eventually had a very distinctive smokestack, but it hadn't been built at the time I was trying to represent so it's just a generic factory with a generic smokestack in this model. 
I've been using it in my sim for a while, I haven't noticed any problems but let me know if you do! |
This is outstanding, did you do a day and night version as you do in many of your parks?
I am from Toledo and grew up a few miles away from the site of the former stadium (it was already a shopping center by the time I was born).
The factory in the outfield was actually the Red Man tobacco factory, which not only produced Red Man products but also the famous Red Man baseball cards from the early 1950's.
