I'd like to acknowledge CCM01 and Henry whose previous work inspired this project. Many OOTP teams "play" in smaller cities that don't have a stadium that could impersonate a 45,000 seat major league ballpark. So, I made the following. At the top are pictures of buildings for cities and natural landmarks for states and regions. I wanted to lend the feeling that you're someplace specific, not just that you've taken Yankee Stadium and plopped it down in Epping, North Dakota. (No offense meant to anyone in Epping or North Dakota.) I'm also a traditionalist that prefers the behind-home-plate view so I put a generic diamond in the center. Here's how it looks:
At the bottom are blank templates for a grass infield, a dirt path between the mound and home plate, and astroturf with dirt cutouts. You could conceivably put other pictures up top like stadiums, ballplayers, concrete representations of the team nicknames (i.e., real Tigers). I'm sure Crackpott will find a way to get Laura Prepon in there.
Below is what it looks like in action in San Bernardino:
For the record, Glaus grounded to Izturis who threw him out at first while Eckstein scored. In real life, he would have thrown home, but that's a subject for another thread.
There's ample room on the sides to put the team logo or stadium name.
Does this interest anyone? Shall I make more and upload a set? Comments welcome.
