2 More Parks - Kuhlman Field & International

Kuhlman Field

This one went several different directions before I decided on its final dimensions and retractable roof. I may eventually replace the skyline if I can find one more appropriate.

I wanted to have a stadium that had the feel of a park in Central or South America. I loved this background, but couldn't quite get the park to fit with the theme.

Hiram Bothom Stadium might help from Puerto Rico

awesome stadiums by the way

GreekMetsFan78 · 12-23-2005, 12:58 AM

Both are awesome

Great work blueturf. I'm a fan of your work.

OfficerTC · 12-23-2005, 01:42 PM

Could you possibly create a graveyard type of stadium?

Team name is the Reapers and would like a graveyard theme to a stadium if possible... You seem like the best man for the job

Excellent stuff...its always good when we have new stadiums around here.

I'm sure you have plently of ideas youd like to do first, but if you get the chance could you possibly attempt a really old-school park from around 1880? (All wood construction not a lot of seats, crowd just standing behind the fence, right in the middle of a neighborhood...).

Keep up the great work.

Very fine stadiums as always, blueturf.

Thanks for sharing your graphics skills with the OOTPB community.

goroyals, did you see my park sort of like this that was pre-crash?

No stands at all.

Blueturf, I hope you don't mind me reposting this here.

goroyals, here's the park I was talking about:

Thanks to all for the positive comments and thanks Cooley for posting that park again.

Requests are particularly hard to fulfill due to the time making each part consumes and the luck in finding existing images to cut & paste to fit the request.

With that being said I probably will have some additional available time for a couple of weeks and if there are some minor adjustments or different backgrounds you would like to see for any of my existing parks I will do my best to get to it.

Here are some thumbnails of my parks that are finished or nearly finished. Some were made back with OOTP3 and I continue to adjust them as my solo league progresses. Others I never quite finished, but may go back to now that I have learned a little more about Photoshop.

OfficerTC · 12-24-2005, 12:47 AM

I just noticed, Memorial would be a great start if you could do a Graveyard type park. It's already based at night and I was thinking of a dark kind of look.

Eugene Church · 12-24-2005, 02:05 PM

I have just added a team to one of my fictional leagues...San Dimas...the town background for the Central America park will fit in great with my concept...It is an old city of hispanic culture and architecture. I always do a town history for each one of my team...include culture, ethnicity, commerce and ballpark tradition and unique concessions. It helps bring my fictional teams and towns alive.

For OOTPBM 2006, I will need about 60 to 80 stadiums. Already have about 50 or so...so it always is great to get new stadiums to add to my cache.

Kuhlmann will be used, too.

I see that you created the stadium (Expedition Grounds) that I call Red Bluff Stadium in my league...home of the Red Bluff Red Sox.

I love stadiums like that.

I hope you will continue to create stadiums. You do them very well. I have heard it might take a hundred hours to create one, so it is understandable why it is hard to them on order.

Whenever you create stadiums in the future. Maybe concentrate on some minor league ballparks, rather than the huge mega stadiums. Make some of them with smaller bleachers that do not rise up and block the view of the cityscape in the background. I would also like the advertising signs to be easy to read with five or ten in each stadium. I think more billboards on some of your ballparks would improve them.

Just a few suggestions.

Yeah I had that one on my cpu, but it crashed just about the same time the boards did, and I forgot about it...thanks for refreshing my memory. It's excellent and exactly what I was looking for.

Not to hijack the thread, but now that I think about it, didn't you have a few other parks? It'd be great if you could repost them...

All 20 parks are available for download at Jazzrack's site on the stadiums page:

Sounds like Oceanside Stadium may be a fit for what you are looking for. Here is an old thread that has a larger version:
