Modern Ebbets Field (Fictional)

This time, I'm trying something a little different. Modern Ebbets Field is a fictional stadium designed for Blindsay's IBL Brooklyn Beats. More information of his world can be found here: https://boards.sportslogos.net/topic...shed/#comments

I had the chance to visit the site of Ebbets Field home plate marker many years ago. The concept of a new Ebbets Field on the exact same spot immediately came to my mind. However, I am going to shift the stadium slightly to allow more room beyond right field.


The goal is to build a modern day 40,000 seat stadium while keeping some of elements from the original. Also, the stadium style must fit Brooklyn's vibe. Here are some of the things to look for when playing in "Modern Ebbets Field":

- Lights and scoreboards are held up by beams shaped like a bridge
- The original Ebbets Field scoreboard is kept as a momento from the past. Instead of being part of the wall, it has been moved behind the seats since we now have more room there
- Combination of old and new: Infield structure is more faithful to the original (but not exactly the same), while the outfield design is completely new.
- Field dimension is not the same, but similar in concept (340 to the left, 400 to center, and 310 in right with taller wall)

All my creative juices are spent so I can't think of a better name. I'll just call it Modern Ebbets Field. I had a lot of fun creating it and also feel that this might be a significant addition. Now anybody with a fictional Brooklyn team in their league can have a cool home stadium to play in.
