There would be a few dozen of these for every facet of a stadium
Once you entered all of them in, you clicked a button and a new stadium pops out.
Complete with # of seats, fence size, alltitude and park factors already calulated using all the parameters you set that affect park factors

Then a list of options pops up

Cancel
Generate new stadium using the above parameters
Save this stadium (for later use)
Save this stadium and use with exsisting team

If you click the last option, a list of all the teams in your universe pops up and you click the team you want to assign the new stadium too


This option would be simply fantastic
It is easy enough to use that it only takes a few minutes per stadium yet powerful enough that it can generate thousands of stadiums using the same parameters and tens of millions of stadiums using all the different parameters

There also be a random button that will randomize all the parameters and and give you a brand new stadium with the click of a button that is totaly unique


In just a few minutes you can generate a few total pitchers parks
Hitter friendly small parks for use in foreign countries
Massive run neutral stadiums for huge cities
And everything in between


In short, this feature would take stadium creation into the next level
This is a fantastic idea. Gets my vote

Not sure it's doable for a patch. More like 2008.
