Hi all,
At Oosl's request, I'm posting
Victory Field I (aka Perry Stadium and Bush Stadium), which served Indianapolis from 1931-1996. It served Indianapolis' AAA team throughout that entire stretch, but also served various Negro League teams during the 1930s and 1940s, as well as a minor league football team. Today
it's been converted into an apartment complex, with much of the footprint intact.

Contrary to the 19th century parks, which took up most of my 2024 modeling time, Victory Field had dimensions that were easy to find and I didn't feel like I had to do a lot of guesswork with it. The walls were ivy-covered (and apparently inspired Wrigley's ivy), but I didn't have many clear images that showed it, plus making them entirely ivy-covered didn't really look right, so I made it patchier on the walls. That would be easy enough to change if there were an outcry. The background is actually as true as I could get--I perched Google Earth up on the roof of the apartments where the press box used to be and did the panorama from there. So, whether or not it fits the time frame you use it, it's true to place.
As a last note for now, we had a great cruise and end-of-year vacation, and are now equilibrating to being back and current events. It's my hope to be able to contribute here at the same kind of pace I have been, but I might need to prioritize other activities and aspects of my life. My top priority for the models is to get a bunch of them in shape to go into Steam for the next version of OOTP, and I know there are a few requests for parks that I'll try to get to. I'm not expecting to disappear, but new parks may be a bit less common.
In any case, enjoy the parks and let me know if you have any issues!
