These are the instructions from Silvam's thread:

To install, download the zip file and unzip to your /ballparks/models folder.
In the game, go to park editor, under actions menu, select "Manually import data from file into this park"
navigate to park folder and select .prk file

I don't know if it will work (or if there's an easier way), but while you are waiting from a reply from someone will more 3D parks knowledge than me, it's worth a shot

Opened just this past season, this park is so new that the Google Earth view is basically a vacant lot. Cashman Field in downtown Vegas, where minor league teams had played since 1981, still stands but is being converted into a soccer-first stadium for the USL. City National Arena, where the Vegas Golden Knights maintain their offices and practice rinks, is just beyond the left field wall.

Not having Google Earth as a reference presented some interesting challenges as I had to guess on some measurements, but ultimately it turned out pretty well. I'm particularly proud of the scoreboard - the 3D ads were all done using a free SketchUp plugin that imports DXF files (which Inkscape can output) far more reliably than the existing SVG importer I had been using.

Would you be able to convert this into the A's?

or is there a version without the team specific graphics? New to this side of things, any help is appreciated!

Somehow I knew, Eriq, that you would have a hand in this type of enterprise. Providing ballparks for my fictional teams was looming as a nightmare after spending so much time designing and installing uniforms. I want to play baseball! But as soon as I went looking for mods, I saw your thread and sighed with relief. Thanks, amigo.

Omnibus Park

I guess it says something when I find myself literally dreaming about ballparks, huh? I woke up and did a super-quick sketch, and while this finished park bears little resemblance to that, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Omnibus Park (the name of which was in the dream, I have no idea why but there you go) is a retractable roof stadium surrounded on three sides by a giant hotel and casino. There is a large swimming pool and outdoor combination casino & practice golf range beyond the center field wall, and a considerable number of the rooms provide a spectacular view of the field. While many of the rooms in the towers get cut off when the roof is closed, there are also a number of premium suites that provide views regardless of the weather outside.

This ballpark is located in Las Vegas, theoretically on the site currently occupied by the Rio. The outfield shape is based on Las Vegas's iconic welcome sign, and it leads to a park that gives up plenty of doubles and triples but is basically neutral aside from that.

An "unbranded" version with team-specific elements removed can be found here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/9a8qe...anded.zip/file

I won't bore you with anymore accolades after this, but the very first stadium of yours that I ran across is this one, ideal for my Las Vegas Rollers. Very well done.

EDIT: Oh, and thanks for the "unbranded" version. Quite thoughtful.

Hi! I do not know if you're still active, but I love this ballpark and I'd like to know any possible dimensions if that is possible. Thank you!

Is there a zip file or something where all of these can be downloaded? Just asking.

I agree. I made this park long before needing it for my league, because I just had to play it. It's in my parks directory if you are interested.

eriqjaffe,

Please check your PM's, if you don't mind too much. Thank you. CD out.

Hey, I just tried to download the Las Vegas ballpark from the "mediafire" site. I got a bunch of suspicious-looking pop-ups, and a weird, loud, disembodied voice saying my download was complete. Looks like I acquired some malware. A bunch of fake virus detection pop-ups, continuing to appear randomly on my computer screen, after closing the web site. I downloaded the stadium files, but could not move them to my OOTP ballpark folder, for some reason. This site seems to have been hacked, or at least compromised, and is not safe for downloads, if my experience is any indication. I am running full scans and struggling to remove the malware. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I am always willing to assume "user error"; but not this time.

The randomized popups if you aren't using an ad-blocker are common on mediafire, but no I haven't 1) had a problem getting files off the site 2) or worry about being "hacked" or malware.

I have a pretty robust ad-blocker that has rarely failed me before, and these bogus ads are still repeatedly showing up, long after I left the site. They are classic malware masquerading as legitimate anti-virus software, with darkly threatening nonsense about multiple viruses on my machine. Worse yet, this is the laptop I use for work, so I’m going to have to make our AI folks aware and ask for guidance. And after all that, the stadium files wouldn’t load. It’s like I slipped down a rabbit hole. Never again.

[Pelican]

In the interest of full disclosure, the pop-up ads have not appeared (yet) today [crosses fingers] and my machine appears clean. And I should say that I love the stadiums on this thread, and have not had any trouble previously. But for now I'm going to stay away from the Mediafire site, and do some research on it.

[mr-cpu-geek]

any chance to get the USBL stadiums added to the OOTP 24 workshop?

[LotteGiant]

It's really modern and cool.

I tell you what, if you don't use SketchUp for years you get kind of rusty!

Anyhow, I threw together a quick modification of my Omnibus Park model themed for the A's in case you want to move them to Vegas right away or, hell, in a couple of years, or whenever.

It's not that much different, other than recoloring some things in A's colors, swapping out the LED ribbon graphics, and a modification of the outfield mow pattern because it seemed logical enough to me.

I guess you do. I started playing around with it again last week and I had to go back and watch all the tutorials and still keep screwing up. Trying to not get too discouraged as I have a few ideas generated from AI that I would like to try and bring to life.

Hello, I enjoy your work a lot, is there any chance you're going to rework your Sutter Health Park in Sacramento for the A's usage as well? Would appreciate it if you could if you had time.

Thank you for your consideration

[Flying_Canuck]

Rejoice! Two of the long-time stadium modders come out of retirement~ I missed seeing your work and anything you come up with is a great gift to the community

[Ty Cobb]

Good times ahead! I so enjoy and appreciate all you guys' work. Two returning legends is an early Christmas present.
