Golden Arches Park (Fictional)

Golden Arches Park is a fictional stadium in Blindsay's IBL universe and home to the Chicago Bites franchise. I was given in-depth lore which made designing this stadium quite fun. In a nutshell, this ballpark is owned by McDonald's and thus the name Golden Arches. I played with various designs but never really found anything that looks good. Any type of arch feels forced or out of place when trying to add it into a baseball stadium. That is, until I took the curved railings from Taichung Intercontinental stadium (one of my previous stadiums) and put them in the outfield. Finally, we have something that resembles the golden arches and integrates well with the surroundings.

The stadium has around 35,000 capacity and opens up to a clear view of downtown Chicago. Two giant scoreboards provide plenty of room to show game information and entertain spectators at the same time.

There is a full McDonald's restaurant in center field. Rumor has it that Golden Arches Park serves nothing but McDonald's. Bring your own food if you want something else

Also, note that those are raised bullpens so fans can be up close and personal with players who are warming up.

I designed the infield grandstands to be similar to Rate Field (home of the White Sox), because the lore says and I quote: "The Golden Arches exterior, made up of golden yellow arches, has become an iconic visual of Chicago’s South Side. The interior was changed as well, with modernized amenities, luxury seating, and a full-service restaurant."

In the corners, fans can check out the sights from tiered viewing areas that sit high up on the upper decks, or they can choose to eat their Big Macs in the dining areas below.........

At night, the sight from the viewing decks is epic! I think this stadium qualifies to be called the "iconic visual of Chicago's South side"

Backward compatibility -- edit the following files to show static scoreboard: ScoreboardLeft_Static.png & ScoreboardRight_Static.png

I have included samples in the texture folder if you don't want to make your own. Just rename the files accordingly.
