Candlestick Park Request

STEmily86 · 09-03-2023, 11:16 PM

If someone were willing to make it, basically what I looking for is to make Candlestick Park into Yankee Stadium West.

I always wondered how the Giants would've fared if they'd just owned Candlestick's flaws, used that empty space behind the wall in left and center and turned it into the place where right-handed power goes to die. All that wind and cold, then on top of that it's 430 to center and 450 to left center?

I miss The Stick, flaws and all.

I don’t miss trying to get out of that parking lot though.

I’d imagine it’s be an easy change to silvam’s model , to extend the fences.

Fresh thinking...I like it! I sure hope someone picks this up and runs with it.

Something like this? I can fix center/right field later. It's about 430' in LC, 443' straight center.

Very cool!

mytreds · 09-13-2023, 02:45 PM

Is this close to what you were wanting?

I can add details like fence distance numbers, GAP signs, and fix the crowds next.

I definitely will be importing this for my Candlestick-era saves.

Sorry for not checking in for a bit, I've been out of town without consistent access to a computer. It's cool to see others picking up on it and seeing the novelty of the idea. mytreds, that is EXACTLY what I had in mind, thank you. It looks awesome.

Ok cool. I’ll have to finish and hopefully have it to you soon.

No need to apologize, we all have lives
