Kraft Stadium

Teflon Skies · 03-27-2003, 01:16 AM

Kraft Stadium is a remarkable facility built to revitalize a depressed portion of the inner city not far from the downtown area. What makes it remarkable is not the retractable roof, luxury boxes or any of the other typical modern stadium features - it's the spirit of altrusim that defined the project from the very beginning. Built by private bonding and contributions, the construction project also included a multilevel centerfield complex that houses a youth center, library, clinic, day care, and 75 unit Ronald McDonald house - all offering free views of the ballgames. Just beyond the center field fence at ground level is a playground area that also offers free views of the game through knotholes in the outfield wall.

The stadium is symetrical with typical measurements. It tends to favor pitchers slightly as the enclosed design deadens air currents and keeps the ball from carrying.

Capacity: 44,000

Left Field Line: 330 Feet
Left Field: 350
Left Center: 370
Center Field: 400
Right Center: 370
Right Field: 350
Right Field Line: 330

Very, very impressive.

Any chance of the .bmp versions of your stadiums being available?

The jpg versions are too blurry when I try to save them as .bmp files.

Thanks for all the hard work you've done so far on these great stadiums.

It feels good to know that parks are being named after some of the best ootp managers of all time. Aaaah....behold the power of cheese.

A silly thought (speaking of cheese) - would Texas League hits in this ballpark be referred to as "Kraft Singles?"

OPENING DAY TODAY! (and half my NL Roto team is disabled already! Was counting on Joe Thurston to be my sleeper at 2B and the Dodgers sent him down today. This is why I love OOTP - I'M THE BOSS!)
