Odd Request

MattD1972 · 10-30-2019, 04:36 PM

I'm starting a historic replay in 1956, where the Dodgers don't move. A lot of the changes that will happen are already set (someone's got a Minnesota Giants uni set, for example). I will need, though, the domed stadium that they wanted to build about where Barclay's Center is now. It was a weird design, with dimensions of 380 ft. all the way around. If I had more time, Id do it myself, but my class load is full and I don't even teach SketchUp anymore. any assistance would be great.

Sorry to necropost, but has anyone taken a crack at a 3D model of this stadium? (Or would anyone like to?) I've always thought the Brooklyn domed stadium* was one of the more interesting alt-history ideas, and I think it would be a lot of fun to play around with. Unfortunately my own experiences with SketchUp have been... less than fruitful (see attached image). It's kind of beyond my own ability, but maybe for someone much more talented than myself it could be a fun project.

*In my own little headcanon it's called "Dymaxion Stadium" or some variation thereupon, for the sole reason that the architect, Buckminster Fuller, liked to slap the word "dymaxion" on everything he made. xD

Imma necropost and resurrect this to share that I did make a run at this stadium. If any one is subscribed to this thread, you can find it here: https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...&postcount=476

This is an interesting idea.. here are more info and pics. The outfield was was to be 380' to all areas!
