These renderings also allow me to 'piece' together buildings to create a skyline that is not immediately recognizable. This makes it great for fictional leagues.
I also try to build in a buffer area between the stadium and the background skyline. I usually use trees or a river. Screenshots from various PC golf games usually work best.
Lastly, I try to piece components from 2 or 3 different stadiums together rather than adding a background to an already existing field and seating dimensions. I have no graphical skill, so this usually requires a patchwork of previous parts from stadiums.
I have about 6 new stadiums that are nearing completion, just need to add some advertising, flags and scoreboards
DreamTeams - I had the Eyre City Eclipse in mind when I was working on this one - if they ever decide to move from Sportstime Ballpark.

Thank you blueturf. I'll certainly archive this one and will consider it if the Eclipse ever decide to change venues.
