dishnet and asrivkin--

maybe the two of you could work together to get some Field of Dreams available.

it sounds like dishnet more or less has the template which looks good.

asrivkin is a pro working on places where the outfielders start a pitch beyond the fences since he did some historical parks where distances were actually shorter than regulation. asrivkin might now know the secret to minimum distances to have the outfielders in play. asrivkin also has made an out on the farm park before--check out his Finley Park at his Jazz Age thread. asrivkin's use of see-through chain link outfield fences at Finley Park possibly could be used to show the picture of the cornstocks beyond and that might resemble the wanted cornfield, but those see-through chain links do work for game play like balls off the fence or over the fence--I have played Finley dozens of times. i even have a game on YouTube featuring out on the farm Finley Park by asrivkin. See for yourself and imagine something similar with a cornfield at Field of Dreams:

i think last year's Field of Dreams game had the fences 330-340 feet down the line and 380-400 feet in center (would have to look it up, but more or less the dimensions of fences in Comiskey circa 1970s or 1980s. they did not play the game with the outfield distances of the movie. i have to imagine that those distances used last year would be ample for outfielders in play. asrivkin would know. compared to dishnet's template it looks like it would require moving the fences back and moving the outfield light poles back beyond the moved fences.

there will be another Field of Dreams game this year on August 11 featuring the Cubs and Reds. The records will count.
