Know you're talking primarily historical, but this has its place there, too. This a ten-year-old, or greater, request, and it still stands. It's easy to say that ballpark factors are given too much weight or attention, but for those who are interested in them, they provide both a reference point and a kind of immersive quality that adds an additional element of consideration. The format attached is perfect for that kind of review.

Reason
Enhance the experience, history, and personalization of the ballpark, making it even more evident (as goes stats) how the park treats pitchers and hitters alike, including error likelihood. Brings about a real sensation of what kind of #'s are reflected by the park factors.
Priority
High. IMHO, a feature that would really add another new dimension to the game.
