Just read a fascinating article in Seamheads about Brookside Park in Cleveland. it’s a natural amphitheater, high banks on three sides, that hosted huge crowds for amateur games in the dead-ball days. Estimates are that more than 100,000 crowded the hillsides (free admission), and he old photos document those crowds. The field is still there, although the surrounding hills are now covered with trees and brush, so no one could sit there now.

So, this would be an ambitious project indeed for someone wanting to construct a 3D model. Way beyond my capabilities; but there is lots of background on the field and environs.

Silvam, hate to add to your backlog. Any interest??
