I had many crazy stadiums. I even laid nicer graphics over a few of them and used them in OOTP.
Oh yeah! one of the most enjyoabel parts.

late 80's and I was the manager of a movie theatre and had 4-5 good friends that worked with me. We had an earl weaver draft league and each built own own stadium, playing our games while the movies were in and there wasn't much work to be done.

One guy had the 500/50 foot walls and had exactly ONE home run at his park all year, one guy had all short fences and of course one guy had the crazy park. We played a full 162 game season and absolutely laughed our butts off watching the games in the crazy park. great memories.
