Blanchard Park - Fictional Portland Ballpark

eriqjaffe · 06-09-2018, 08:27 AM

My first park in a while, this is my first with a backdrop and 3D crowds (thanks to silvam for the excellent tutorials).

And I say it's fictional, but it's really semi-fictional, as it is based on one of the sites proposed by the Oregon Sports Authority in 2004, this is the site located in the Rose Quarter adjacent to the Moda Center - it's the arena located straight away from center field.

One thing to note - if you measure the actual SketchUp file, the park dimensions are actually really snug. As in "291 feet down the right field line and 376 feet to straight center" snug. I figured that was a factor of the drawing, so I inflated the dimensions by about 7 percent or so to make it play a little more realistically as an MLB park.

Credit where credit is due - the scoreboard in left field is actually from the 3D Warehouse, originally modeled by Jack B.

Blanchard should work the same way.

Is there any way to get the new fields into use during an exhibition game?

Yes, but it takes a bit of work:

If this was a real life ballpark, that deep right field corner would last for one season. Then, all the left handed hitters on the team would whine about not being able to hit home runs to right field. The next season it would be turned into a bullpen!
