Proposed Team Concepts and Potential Expansion Park Models

I created a model for the proposed Portland ballpark in Sketchup, and I wanted to share it here for c/c. Below is the zip file and a couple of pictures:

Thanks to Silvam, adion and eriqjaffe for all of their work on stadiums - I've been following from afar the last few years and decided to try my hand at one, and the texture databases you all have built up proved invaluable.

Park at Howard Terminal

After finishing the Portland Park I decided to take a run at the new Oakland park, which, interestingly enough, ended up being a lot easier than the Portland Park.

These are really nice - if you did these in SketchUp, would you be willing to share the .skp files?

Thanks eriqjaffe.
'
EDIT January 2: I updated the google drive folders today and included the sketchup files for the two fields in the respective folders. They aren't separate anymore.

BB&T Ballpark

Ok, one final one for now. I put together a BB&T Ballpark for Charlotte based on the field dimensions and location of the current one. I added three levels and a hypothetical 27,000 seats.

One Nevada Credit Union Park

I guess I should rechristen this the expansion thread. I put together a model for Las Vegas based on the new minor league stadium they're building - I made it a "retractable" roof stadium (since they would probably have to do that based on Texas and Phoenix) and put it in Summerlin. It plays like Coors Field according to the Park Generator, so get your groundballers.

Huntington Park - Columbus, OH

Next up in the series - Huntington Park in Columbus, OH. Again, took a minor league stadium and retrofitted it for a Major League setting. As a side note, it looks like a pretty beautiful stadium.

Awesome stuff. Playing OOTP is so much better with contributors like yourself. Thank you.

You said next in the series, just out of curiosity, what parks are you planning next? I am actually configuring my league around the parks in this forum. Just interested to see.

Victory Field - Indianapolis, IN

This time we're heading to Indianapolis, IN with a retrofitting of Victory Field. It seems like a pretty cool stadium, and I added a memorial in center field to go along with the military theme.

That's a good question Orange6. Obviously I just finished Indianapolis, but my sketchup 30 day free trial is coming to a close soon and I'm not certain about purchasing the web version (it's a bit pricey) so I may do 1 or 2 more. Right now I'm trying to decide between Nashville, Louisville, and Vancouver - I'm leaning towards the last two because they aren't locations in the USBL (thanks eriqjaffe!) and could be useful future expansion sites.

Those are my thoughts right now - let me know if you have a preference.

Louisville and Vancouver would be cool. Also, just a suggestion and im not sure what your process is now, but having editable .png textures in the ballpark for the field and any advertisements/team branding signs would really make your parks a lot more flexible and would be immensely appreciated.

As far as OOTP modeling goes the only thing you can't do with the free version of SketchUp is export OBJ files, but you can do that through a plug-in which I have attached. Just drop the .rb file into either "C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2017\ShippedExtensions" or "C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\Sketc hUp 2017\SketchUp\Plugins" (I have it in both places on my computer and I'm not sure which one SketchUp is actually loading) and you should be good to go.

Scotiabank Field - Vancouver, CA

I took some creative liberties with this particular park - I made the quarter circle outfield into a slightly more uneven one, and moved it down by the bay with a nice view of a skyline (replacing a quite pretty city park - who needs a public park when there is baseball to be played?). It's a "retractable roof" stadium that will be playing open.

That's helpful feedback. In the last three I've included a folder in the zip drive with the templates I am creating in GIMP (the freeware photo editing software.) Is there another way you know to create editable .png files? I'd love to know how I can make them easier to customize.

Well, this is good news for me. Thanks for the extension eriqjaffe!

Just having a ton of editable textures i mean. So for example, the field and any ads or team/stadium logos would be textures instead of being tied directly to the 3d model would be 100x better so that anyone using the stadium can edit the textures to fit any team/league/etc. they desire.

Louisville Slugger Field - Louisville, KY

Louisville is next on our tour of AAA ballparks converted into Major League Stadiums. The outside structure is pretty cool, with fans entering through an old warehouse, and the stadium has a pretty great location on the Ohio River. The park plays slightly pitcher friendly (.994 in the MiLB park factors.)

Also, itsmb8, I used textures and .png's on all of the surfaces as you recommended and included the templates in the zip file. If this is what you were suggesting in the earlier thread let me know. Thanks for your help in making this more customizable.

As far as the way forward goes:

Since I now have unlimited sketchup powers, I'm planning to complete the following stadiums on an ill-defined timeline (probably can't keep up the 2-3 a week pace forever):

Nashville
New Orleans
San Antonio
Brooklyn

These are all current teams in a league I'm running. New Orleans will be the next one - if you have any thoughts on the other three, let me know.

After that I'll work on some of the following cities that could be potential future expansion sites:

Albuquerque
Austin
El Paso
Memphis
Sacramento
Salt Lake City
Hartford
Orlando
Virginia Beach
Boise
Birmingham

If any of those are of particular interest let me know and I'll bump them up the list.

Thanks everyone!
