1951-present - 0.63%
and cryo, definitive work that is any more helpful than this may be near impossible from what i gathered quick scanning that article. if the guys at sabr dont have it chances are it doesn't exist.
Perhaps use those numbers they came up with and from say 1901-1915 do a gradual even decline for each season to get from 35 to 25.

That's great stuff. And a very nice baseline to start off with.
But I still think we need to do this park-by-park. I would imagine huge differences by stadium in any era. And for my modern setup with a few giant parks that's the only way it's going to work right.
