Here's another college ballpark, the home of the Norfolk State Spartans of the MEAC/NEC. These smaller parks are always a challenge as there is more of the surrounding environment to model out. The scoreboard pictured here was just replaced in real life, but I decided to keep it for the purpose of this model. I also am experimenting with making accurate backgrounds. Any feedback is welcomed. The estimated dimensions of the park:

LFL 320
LF 360
LCF 404
CF 410
RCF 400
RF 372
RFL 336

Excellent. Love the scoreboard.

Here's one from across the pond. Historic Wembley Stadium in London hosted several baseball games featuring American and British soldiers during World War II. There appeared to be no infield or dugouts, but there was a pitchers mound and bases. Following the war, Wembley stood until 2007, when it was replaced by a new stadium with the same name. As it was a baseball diamond squeezed onto a soccer pitch, the cramped dimensions are as follows:

LFL 309
LF 369
LCF 384
CF 357
RCF 299
RF 268
RFL 259

So---MyWorld....because I couldn't come up with a better name (Big World when it was all 100% legit is where the idea came from), is a semi-fictional (because some real world teams exist but 100% fictional players with real stadiums---or fictional ones from here) world with 100 leagues, 30 tournaments, 15 domestic tournaments.... I took some elements of hockey and soccer for round-the-clock things and implemented them into the game.

TLDR? 13 Major Leagues across the globe with 80 international leagues.

Stadiums wise---- A LOT outside of North America. I've managed to implement some of deft's creations, as well as Isdelyrod and others. Some of yours are in there, too (if by 20XX, its still standing as a ballpark).

If I could ask for one, and its abandoned, it would make my day: Greer Stadium. circa 1990s with the blue guitar. I thought by now somebody would've created it but even with Sulphur Dell, I thought someone would've created that after.

But circling back---and forgive me for this---most of my big six in Europe (teams in Netherlands, Italy, UK, Germany, Italy, and France) have generic-game generated, or whatever Isdelyrod, Canuck or someone has created. I do have a list of what I have. But yea, Wembley made my day!

Now, if I could ever figure out to configure a diamond within a soccer pitch at some hallowed "football" grounds (Old Trafford, Bramall Grounds, etc.), I'd be onto something!

Interesting stuff. So to make it work, you have to enlarge the model slightly so that LF/RF (15 degrees from either line) are at least 320-325 feet away. Otherwise you run into issues with players disappearing through walls. Before you enlarge it though, you can measure dimensions from the axis, as the dimensions that influence park factors are separate from what is seen in the 3d model. I plan on tackling more international parks as I learn more.

Cobbled together from several sketchup models, here's another European venue from World War II: Soldiers Field in Nuremberg. It was originally built as a rally grounds for the Nazis, but when it was captured by Americans at the end of the war, it was turned into a sports complex. It hosted the "GI World Series" in September of 1945, in which the OISE All-Stars defeated the 71st Red Army Circlers three games to two. That the OISE All-Stars were integrated makes their victory on the grounds more fitting. It still stands today and was recently renovated to include several memorials on the site.

I can tell you this makes it in for the Neuenberg Atomics!

Home of the Quincy University Hawks and Quincy Doggy Paddlers, this stadium is another WPA relic from the 1930s. The sports complex features a baseball stadium and football stadium surrounded by a granite wall. Affectionately called "Quincy Federal Prison" by some fans, it has been remodeled several times. In 1947, it served as an alternate home site for the Chicago American Giants of the Negro Leagues.

In this version, the terrace has bleachers resting on top as they appeared for at least one season. Most of the ads are a mix from 1930-1950 and were created from scratch. Sadly, the stadium has fallen into disrepair in recent years and was recently marked for demolition in October 2025.

This multipurpose ballpark served as the home of several minor league teams that played in Olean, including the Olean Oilers, Yankees, and Athletics. The ballpark was infamous for several unique features including a short porch of approximately 260 feet to right field, dirt track surrounding the field, a temporary fence placed across for baseball games, light poles in play on the field, and an orientation that faced West, forcing late afternoon games to take "sun breaks" as there was no batter's eye. Bradner Stadium also hosted Negro League games and witnessed an appearance by Jackie Robinson and the Brooklyn Dodgers when they visited for an exhibition against the Oilers in 1947. It was remodeled in 2013 with the baseball configuration reoriented and several seats removed. This park is as it appeared in the 1940s and has the following estimated dimensions:

LFL 328
LF 346
LCF 386
CF 375
RCF 310
RF 274
RFL 260

Durkee Field, also known as JP Small Memorial Stadium, was the home of several minor league teams in Jacksonville including the Scouts, Tars, Braves, and Jets, as well as the Negro League's Red Caps. It is still standing today and was recently renovated to serve as the home of Edward Waters College. This version is based largely on Asrivkin's excellent 1910s model and is a portrayal of what it may have looked like in the 1940s/50s.

Thanks for doing these! I took a crack at trying to build stadiums on both sketchup and the other one...no chance in hell of me figuring that out!! haha! keep up the great work!!

It gets easier with each one. If you watch Silvam's tutorial and model alongside it, you'll get it in no time!

Great job on these, and happy to see Durkee's sequel!
