Has it been two months? I guess it has!

FirstEnergy Stadium, home of the Reading Fightin Phils

Opened in 1951 as Reading Municipal-Memorial Stadium, FirstEnergy Stadium has hosted the R-Phils since they affiliated with the Phillies in 1967. That 53-year run is tied for the longest continuous affiliation in baseball.

Awesome!!!

jg2977 · 10-16-2020, 12:57 PM

That's fantastic! I especially like the look of the light blue fence. The same colored dark green fences in most ballparks nowadays appear redundant and boring IMO.

Arm & Hammer Park, home of the Trenton Thunder

Originally opened as Mercer County Waterfront Park in 1994, the park has been the only home the Thunder have had since the franchise relocated to Trenton. The looming left field wall is there to block out views of nearby Route 29, while the wall ends in right field to allow fans to see the Delaware River and adjacent Pennsylvania (not modeled

).

Also, the Thunder have bat dogs! And they are very good boys.

Amazing work on all of these ballparks!

I would love to modify some of these for fictional games. Is there a way these files can be modified or edited to remove all the advertising, change the logos and branding, or change certain parts of the park?

I know there are some video tutorials on the forums, but I'm just returning after an absence of a few years. I've never attempted to create or work with 3D models before, and I'm not sure whether some of the original instructions and tools still apply to the current version of OOTP. I'm also not sure if they reflect the process and methods you use.

micropterus58 · 11-14-2020, 02:07 PM

Charlie Hough, you can replace/edit the images in the textures folder. Most are JPG or PNG files. I suggest that you always keep the original files in case you mess up. Keep the file names the same and the same type. Use the edit 3D model section to verify that the edited files look good. Sometimes you have to resize or reposition the images. You will probably be able to find advertising and dugout roof images.

eriqjaffe · 11-14-2020, 07:47 PM

Some of the images - notably the logo behind home plate - are actually separate faces in the SketchUp model. You could replace the image in the textures folder easily enough, but you'd still have the shape of the logo in the model.

Nothing has really changed in regards to the modelling since it was first introduced - the basics are SketchUp & the OBJExporter plugin. I use SketchUp Make 2017, which you can still download here and the OBJExporter plugin can be found here. You should be able to edit the model into the newer web-based free version of SketchUp without any problems, but I have to admit that I've never tried it. I know the older desktop version of SketchUp had a built-in OBJ exporter that would work for the first 30 days, I'm not sure if the web version does the same thing or not.

We'll be starting our tour of AA parks with the Eastern League. Originally Binghamton Municpal Stadium, the park has been home to the Rumble Ponies (known as the Binghamton Mets until 2017) since it opened in 1992.

Chewie, We're Home!!
Seriously, this has been my home park since it opened and my 2 attempts to get this into OOTP failed miserably.

Canal Park, home of the Akron RubberDucks

Opened in 1997, a notable feature about this park is that aside from the "Duck Row" seats in left field, all of the seats in the park are the same price. The park is named after the Ohio & Erie Canal, which runs outside the left-field wall, although I didn't model it.

Looks like another beauty!

Wow. So great looking!

Wow - Your parks keep getting better and better!
As an Eastern League fan I've been to every one of the current EL parks
and your parks sure bring back some memories. The Reading park I visited first in the late 1980's the last time was probably 6 or 7 years ago. It had changed so much over the years.
Its a great park to see a game.

Looking forward to more EL diamonds!

Thanks so much for your efforts.

zappa1 · 12-02-2020, 10:42 AM

Holy smokes! This thing is awesome. I love these parks of yours because when I play them I'm sight seeing as well. Thank you.

And turbo download, too!!! Woa

clamel · 12-03-2020, 04:37 PM

Truly outstanding. This new one and all the rest. It's a beauty to play out games with stadiums like this for the minor league teams.

Just love them

Big THANKS mate.

Peoples Natural Gas Field, home of the Altoona Curve

Opened in 1999 as Blair County Ballpark and renamed in 2012, the field is dominated by The Skyliner - a roller coaster at the adjacent Lakemont Park amusement park.

Mr. HudsonBay · 12-14-2020, 04:16 PM

Purely awesome to see the roller coaster in the background. Makes me want to visit the real-life stadium. Well done, again!

Ty Cobb · 12-14-2020, 05:07 PM

It's almost redundant to keep praising you, but this is another tremendous addition. Thank you!

zappa1 · 12-15-2020, 05:26 PM

I was wondering if that roller coaster is reachable and if anybody in real life has done it.

According to Google Earth the coaster is about 420 feet away from the plate, so it's possible. I didn't come across any references to anybody doing it, though.

Nicely done! I remember this being one of the few minor league fields available in MLB 2K12, and I like that you've done this 3D model! Well done!
