Yes, they changed so much in such a short time in some cases. I believe
Busch switched to astroturf in 1970/1971 but they still kept the
dirt infield- similar to the three rivers that Silvam provided a couple
of weeks ago. It was only in 76 or 78 that Busch switched to full astroturf
infield with sliding pits.

The strangest of them all was Comiskey from 69-76 -Silvam also did this
version- they had an astroturf infield while still maintaining a grass
outfield!

Take your time, you have taken the immersion factor in ootp to a
level I didn't think possible. Thanks for the update!

Can't wait to see it. Is there a way you could also create an astroturf version of the early 70's with the dirt infield described above. The wall colors were the same, the difference was the astroturf.

Thanks a lot ST LOU 1

How about this mock-up?

What a pre-47 Fenway park could look like. I included most of the elements. Two of the adverts came from that cool baseball scoreboard site on flickr. I couldn't decide on which cities service sign was more accurate...

I also typed some bogus stuff at the base of the wall because I've seen stuff like that on other pre-47 fenway pics.

Looks very good to me.

drksd4848 · 09-21-2016, 06:52 PM

Updated it... this is just a design study, which is far more easier to do than actually make the actual 3D model. I included all the elements.

adion · 09-21-2016, 07:09 PM

Great job! I'll see if I can find a picture for the background with that building, or similar, behind the right field wall.

Apparently, it's the one that says "GULF".

drksd4848 · 09-21-2016, 11:52 PM

Looks to me like pre-47 fenway had more of a hunter green look, so I changed it

adion · 09-22-2016, 08:54 AM

Based on the photos, it looks to me like the stands have more white in them than anything else.

Wow, that was fast. Loved how you added the mesh screen behind the right field bleachers. Also, I see you went with Gulf instead of Cities Service... Interesting.

And... NO LIGHTS! Nice touch! Totally missed that one. Plus, you tweaked the Fenway green too! NICE!

Were any of the other elements I attached helpful? Hope so.

I went with the Gulf sign because one of the better pictures you posted had that one.

Glad you like it

I love it! All Yawkey eras of Fenway are covered! (BTW, I went with Cities Services because that was what the Citgo sign was back then.)

I would imagine a pre-yawkey Fenway would be a pain to do.You'd probably have to build an entire model from scratch. Plus, trying to find pics... ugh.

drksd4848 · 09-22-2016, 01:42 PM

One more thing... this may neither be here nor there, but I'd figure I'd stick it up here.

I've always wondered about the various shades of Fenway Green thought the years. Check this out: Fenway green definitely NOT always "Fenway Green". Even though this is black and white, you can clearly see the different shade while they were replacing the old wall with the new wall. This was prior to the '76 season. Notice the Buck Printing Co is still up. I wonder when they took it down?

Anyway, figured I'd share...

silvam14 · 09-22-2016, 04:08 PM

Cool stuff. There was a guy here doing older wooden parks. Maybe he will do early fenway
