Parkway Field, Louisville

Happy November!

Here's my attempt at Parkway Field in Louisville. Once again, I was shooting for a mid-late 1920s version, once again I inevitably incorporated later elements. I imported the grain elevator/mill/silos from 3D Warehouse, so they're not as good a match as they could be. I also ran into a conundrum in that I can't seem to reconcile the street layout, the field dimensions that are out there, and the photos. Given that the claimed 500+ foot distance to the deepest part of the park was later found to be off by 20 feet or more, I'm trying not to sweat it too much. The park factors are based on the Sketchup dimensions, not the published ones, but obviously you can go ahead and put in other numbers as you prefer!

I'd put my solo OOTP league on hold to make the parks I needed for the 1916 season (Baltimore/KC/Newark/Buffalo), and figured I'd stay on hiatus and make a few more parks until the MLB season ended. My short-term plan is to make a few period-appropriate Spring Training parks for my league (Hot Springs, Jacksonville, Waco?) and then I imagine my pace may slow. But I do plan eventually to get to unmodeled parks in that my league could expand to in the late 20s/early 30s: Minneapolis, Toronto, Montreal, maybe a few others.
