Its Wikipedia page is here for those interested, and its Digital Ballparks page is here.

This is the link to download a zip file of the ballpark for OOTP. I don't think I was fully consistent as to the ballpark name I used, so if for some reason things don't work try renaming files to be consistent.

As usual, I'm shooting for its appearance c. 1915-1920. I worked from the Sanborn maps, old pictures from about the right era, and later pictures that I tried to work backward from. The park was in a natural depression, the topography is in the park but I used the left field grass slope as seating (which may or may not look right)...
Simply perfect. Are you taking requests? I'd love to see Hinchliffe.
