So, I've downloaded the demo and, in the spirt of trying to do way too much way too fast, I'm trying to create as faithful a reflection of the real world as I can. I've installed Prodigal Son's super-cool Real World Baseball mod, so I've got the minors, two of the foreign leagues (I'll probably add the others myself later on), and all of the feeder leagues.

Great so far. But what I'm still missing is the ballparks. Camden Yards as a retractable roof stadium? My beloved Twins playing outdoors on grass? I don't think so.

I see several threads on ballpark pictures, but I don't care about that. The graphics are the least interesting part of the sim to me (not that I don't appreciate Prodigal Son's logos and such). I'm looking for stadium names, park dimensions, and playing surfaces.

I could Wikipedia each league (major, minor, college, foreign, etc.) and copy what info I can find there, but that's a pretty daunting task for several hundred teams -- especially since OOTP's stadium selection menu is one of it's least user-friendly features. Not that I'm not insane enough to do it. But, is there a better way?
