Stadium Question

sansterre · 03-25-2010, 12:55 PM

I'm doing a fictional historical league, with the historical settings and fictional teams/players. My question is whether or not the ballparks are rebuilt as the sim progresses. For example, right now (1902) most teams' ballpark capacities cap out at 2500-3000ish. That works for now, since 2000 is average attendance, but I suspect that won't hold up. Will I have to manually adjust the ballpark capacities?

Unfortunately, you must edit them manually.

However, over at Padresfan's site in the database section is a parks.dat file that gives you every historic ballpark and then some to use with any team. It's Gambo's Historical Parks.dat for OOTP10.

Forgive me for jumping into your thread, but maybe you'll have the same question.

I downloaded this file a while ago but have been unable to figure out what to do with it. Any direction on how to use it? I'm sure its plenty easy and I'm just missing it.

Go into your save game folder and copy and paste the file into your save game. For example, copy it into New Game X or whatever your file is called. Make a backup before you do this though.

Thanks for the info. Never thought to look for the file there.
