A couple of the other (outdoor) parks that are partially finished have used parts from EPL and other European stadiums - I hope to finish these soon.

I think in general football stadiums and baseball stadiums to some extent are starting to become more European in nature. For years, stadiums in America were created merely with functionality in mind, while Europe has seemed to place a higher priority on aesthetic value. Fortunately that trend really started to change in the 90's, but baseball went with the retro movement, which was nice for a while and obviously had some more modern characteristics. But unfortunately, a lot of the newer retro stadiums have really lacked the originality and character of the first set of retro stadiums. I find it a little disappointing that an entire round of baseball construction has gone by with very few teams embracing the wonders of modern architecture.
Well I had a rant there, but thank you for all the hard work you put into stadiums. I'm really looking forward to seeing your new designs.
