Blanchard Park - Fictional Portland Ballpark

This was my first with a backdrop and 3D crowds (thanks to silvam for the excellent tutorials).

And I say it's fictional, but it's really semi-fictional, as it is based on one of the sites proposed by the Oregon Sports Authority in 2004, this is the site located in the Rose Quarter adjacent to the Moda Center - it's the arena located straight away from center field.

One thing to note - if you measure the actual SketchUp file, the park dimensions are actually really snug. As in "291 feet down the right field line and 376 feet to straight center" snug. I figured that was a factor of the drawing, so I inflated the dimensions by about 7 percent or so to make it play a little more realistically as an MLB park.

Credit where credit is due - the scoreboard in left field is actually from the 3D Warehouse, originally modeled by Jack B.
