Five Fictional Ballparks

Henry · 03-21-2003, 09:24 PM

BattleField Park
Richmond Virginia

LF 325' 10"
LC 365' 10"
CF 400' 30"
RC 365' 10"
RF 325' 10"

Battlefield Park is a 45,000 seat enclosed structure only a few blocks from downtown Richmond. A unique promotion here every game is the "War Chest". $1 from every ticket sold for the game is given away in a random drawing each home game. As you can imagine, the Battlefield has sold out evey game for the past 3 seasons... exactly when the War Chest promotion got started.

Braxton Heights Field
New York

LF 300' 7'
LC 350' 7'
CF 400' 7'
RC 350' 7'
RF 300' 7'

The Brax is "the oldest ballpark known to man" according to it's current owner. Built in 1910, and added to 8 different times, this combination wood, concrete, and steel structure can seat 47,000 fans when packed. Maintainance of this ballpark has put it on the endangered list many times, but recent approval to add it to the state's historical preservation list has revived talk about a major renovation. The fans simply love this old ballpark, and the chili dogs are stupendous.

Highpark Field
Houston

Metropolis Stadium
Metropolis (CD Comics)

Philips Park
Chicago

The speed at which you guys are coming out with these, and the quality that they possess absolutely amazes me. Now I HAVE to give each of my fictional teams their own park

Battlefield Park.....What's a better place for the West Point Sentries to play ?

Awesome

adventureran · 03-21-2003, 10:37 PM

I agree. These parks are enough to want to make me start my own fictional league. Really incredible work. Thanks!

Henry - your parks are awesome - IS THERE ANYWAY YOU COULD CREATE A NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA OPEN PARK CALLED PELICAN PARK????

Teflon Skies · 03-22-2003, 04:14 PM

Excellent Work, Henry! I love the worn field look in Braxton Heights and the fireworks in Philips!

Pelican Park
New Orleans

LF 310, 8'
LC 375, 8'
CF 401, 30'
RC 375, 8'
RF 310, 8'

Home of the New Orleans Pelicans, "Pel" is a very cozy ball field with reasonable dimensions. Built in 1935, during the depression, "Pel" has gone through many renovations. The latest addition was the rightfield upper deck - added to increase the ballpark's capacity to 35,000 seats - and to facilitate left handed power hitters. Distances of 410' (RF) and 470' (RC) are noted on the upper deck although no one has yet hit one into sections 201 (470' ), 202 (455' ), or 203 (440' ).

How do you make these? I want to try!

Henry · 03-23-2003, 09:25 AM

I'm updating the original Fictional set I made 2 years ago... will be done soon and that will total 14 ballparks.

Thanks so much for the park. It is AWESOME!! I have all of your parks in the game and now with this one - I have completed my fictional league. Your parks have added another dimension to this game which is unbelievable. Once again - thanks so much for the work and dedication to this site.

TC Dale · 03-23-2003, 11:50 PM

Very excellent works. I am very impressed! Wow. My sons' that are Photoshop geeks will be jealous!

Cool.

ZouDave · 03-24-2003, 02:58 PM

Henry,

Your skills are UH-MAY-ZING! I don't want to be a mooch, but what would it take to get you to create 28 fictional parks for my fictional league? I can give you the team names, logos, ballpark names, stadium capacities, dimensions, locations, etc...I just have absolutely no graphics skills to speak of.

What would it take?

LedgerSko · 03-24-2003, 03:14 PM

1 million dollars, 13 loaves of bread, 16 Field and Steam mags, a 100 dollar gift certificate to Dairy Queen and a clue as to where Saddam is

ZouDave · 03-24-2003, 04:06 PM

no way is he getting that Dairy Queen Gift Certificate. I mean, c'mon...let's be reasonable!

Awesome __________________ Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
