Ballpark Dimensions

[AtlCoach]

I have enclosed one of my 10 fictional ballparks I am using from my simcity game in my OOTP league. Would someone like to help me determine the dimensions and capacity? These are to be smaller stadiums than MLB. If so, I will post some of the others.

I never thought that I'd use algebra again. It's just a matter of ratios. I measured the number of pixels from home plate to first base. Knowing that this distance is 90 feet, you can determine the other dimensions.

hp-1b = 78 pixels = 90 feet
rf = 255 px = 294 ft
lf = 172 px = 198 ft
cf = 276 px = 318 ft
rcf = 282 px = 325 ft
lcf = 232 px = 267 ft

As far a capacity, count the seats and then estimate the RF bleachers. CF was measured straight from 2B, not the deepest corner.

While I can't question your math. I believe he should make the park far bigger then that. I play my home games in Baker Bowl and all of those dimensions are far smaller then my park. Better have some 80% GB pitchers or they will give up 50+ HR. LF at 198 is 20 feet smaller then my HS park. If you download Gambo's 2011 seating chart and enter what you think the dimensions should be it will figure out the ballpark factors for you.

I know that the angle is not 100% straight on and I also know that things are not always perfect to scale in sim city, therefore I was hoping you would give me thoughts like these!

hp-1b = 78 pixels = 90 feet
rf = 255 px = 294 ft
lf = 172 px = 198 ft
cf = 276 px = 318 ft
rcf = 282 px = 325 ft
lcf = 232 px = 267 ft

I think I am going to add 60 feet to the measurements to get the following:

rf = 294 ft + 60 = 354
lf = 198 ft +60 = 258
cf = 318 ft + 60 = 378
rcf = 325 ft + 60 = 385
lcf = 267 ft + 60 = 327

so the dimensions would be = 258-300-327-378-385-365-354

and capacity I am thinking 18,500

Thoughts?????

would you like to help with my other parks? Let me know and Ill continue...

Very nice looking AtlCoach!
