Sportpark de Paperclip

This is a big sports multiplex in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The entire ground contains numerous soccer/hockey fields, tennis courts, in-door gym, softball fields, and of course a baseball ballpark that is the home of Honkbal Hoofdklasse's UVV Utrecht. Obviously, my model is going to focus on this corner of the Sportpark. This is for OOTP after all.

The baseball park itself doesn't have much to look at. The advertised seating capacity is 1000, but I feel it's more in the 500~600 range. There are only a few small bleachers that I can see.

For this type of minimalistic ballpark, it is important to capture the essence of the surrounding environment. The most distinct feature is probably the uniquely shaped building called "SportCity" (which looms large behind home plate).

Backward compatibility (for OOTP25 and prior versions) -- edit the transparent Scoreboard_static.png file in the texture folder to have it cover up the dynamic scoreboard. Use my sample (Scoreboard_static_sample.png) if you don't want to make your own.

Love the fact that Honkbal is getting love. Is the plan over time to do all the parks?

Fingers crossed UVV gets promoted back to Hoofdklasse in my Honkbal stream save so I can show off your hard work soon!

@BestbatBoy Eventually, I will probably get to all of them. There is only a few more. Right now, I will focus my next stadiums in other leagues before I come back to Honkbal Hoofdklasse. I have looked at several stadiums that are interesting to me in Cuba, Czech Republic, Taiwan and other places. Your requested stadiums should also be part of my next batch (one of Hoover Met/Jimmy John's, or possibly both).

@Suigi That's very likely, LOL. In real life, UVV is in 5th place, right? They should remain in Honkbal Hoofdklasse for at least another year. Actually, your Hoofddorp Pioniers is in danger of relegation if they are not careful....... Let's see how realistic OOTP is

IRL Hoofdklasse isn't part of the promotion/relegation system - Quick Amersfoort willingly left so Hoofdklasse would have an even eight teams.

Ahh, that's right. They had changed league format several years ago. Out of the current eight teams, we should already have stadiums for 6 of them. Only Twins and Penguins left so I will probably build their ballparks, too. No definite timeline yet.

Estadio Guillermón Moncada

Estadio Guillermón Moncada is located in Santiago de Cuba, and serves as the home of Avispas de Santiago de Cuba (who are historically one of the most successful teams in the Cuban League). It is the second largest baseball stadium in the country behind the famous Estadio Latinoamericano.

Red is the predominant color in this stadium. They even use it on the walls which is a rare sight. I also find the center field wall very interesting. It's real low and players can easily jump over it. What if the center fielder catches the ball and the momentum pushes him over. Would that be a homerun? Or he had to jump into the bullpen in order to make the catch. What would be the ruling on that? LOL. Unfortunately I never had a chance to watch a game here (either in person or on video). If anyone knows, please enlighten me.

Backward compatibility (for OOTP25 and prior versions) -- 2 sections use dynamic scoreboards - the Main Scoreboard and the Side Scoreboard. Edit the following two files in the texture folder if you want to use static scoreboards:

ScoreboardMain_Static.png
ScoreboardSide_Static.png

I have prepared samples (ScoreboardMain_Static_Sample.png & ScoreboardSide_Static_Sample.png) if you don't want to make your own. Just rename them accordingly.
