Hi,

Like zappa1 says, that post mentions the limits we're under. So, you'll either need to change the park from its historic dimensions or else accept that they'll be outside the field of play when the pitch is delivered...

By request, here's Red Bird Stadium in Columbus, home of various minor league, Negro League, and football teams (under various names) since it was built in 1932. It currently sits in a half-demolished limbo.

I'd been shooting for a 1930s appearance, but most of the info I had was from the 1950s so I think that's basically where things ended up. The backdrop is from the present day. I colorized and used the scoreboard from one of the photos below.

I'll try and tackle Miami Stadium next (and soon), for which I potentially have a solution that will let me leverage someone else's work and seriously cut down on the amount of work...

Woohoo thanks! New home of four Ohio clubs in my save: Columbus, Mansfield, Lancaster, and Newark.

Red Bird Stadium is outstanding! Thank you so much for doing this request!

Can't wait to see what you do with Miami.

Thanks again!

I agree. Red Bird is wonderful.
