Wonderful! I was working on an early version of Eastern Park but I will delete that one tonight because the one you built is great and I was only in the early stages. I'm just glad I didn't wait longer to find your thread!
Below is a complete and accurate list of 1800s ballparks I'm working on.
Jefferson Street Grounds (Philadelphia 1883-91?)
-As you probably already know, they moved the diamond all over the place and information is scarce. My model is based on the 27th and Jefferson Street field. I haven't had much luck in finding pre-1883 info but we can revisit.
Recreation Park (Pittsburgh 1885-1890)
Union Grounds (Brooklyn 1862-1882)
Eclipse Park (I and II) (Louisville)
Union Park (Baltimore 1895-1899)
I think OOTP treats as one park. I wasn't even aware of the split you mentioned below, but it sounds like the grandstand was rebuilt on the same site so I think I can use the later model to eventually create the earlier version.
Congress Street Grounds (1890-1891, a bit of 1894)
Kennard Street Park (Cleveland 1879-1894)
I will warn you I have not really figured out how to handle backgrounds. I try to fill the immediate exterior of the park with some decent looking 3D imagery, but the backdrops are not my strength. My models are formatted for SketchUp 2023 on PC. At some point I'll either figure it out or ask for help. If you want to send me some or all of your SketchUp files at some point, I could probably learn by just playing around in those and seeing how you handle it, because I've always been a fan of your backgrounds.
