No problem!). But OOTP is clearly on a great path forward and I'm sure it will eventually have all the things I'm looking for in a sim.

no doubt - the weaver stadium generator was PHENOMENAL!!!

we use to spend hours building "real" stadiums, or dream stadiums and we even built and played absurd stadiums - ones with 500 ft fences and 50 ft walls and one with 200 feet fences. made for some very fun and entertaining leagues.
