Architecture Series Stadiums

Deft · 07-26-2020, 10:51 PM

I have returned from a little hiatus as I am wrapping up the next installment of architecture themed stadiums. I am making stadiums themed off of architecture styles. A shortcut has been added to download the stadium with it's correlating design style.

First Installment
MCM Park, is a mid-century modern range burger re-imagined as a major league park. Seating is divided into air-conditioned (green) and open air seating (red). Architectural built around the accentuated rectangular shapes of the era, with a cantilevered floating roof extending beyond the playing field. The field carries the theme with rectangular infield lines and angular backstop. The left field fence extends parallel to the first baseline with a 20' fence out to a remote 469' to straight away. The right field fence is 90 degrees from left and with a lower 5' fence provides some HRs to lefties in this pitcher's park.

I am in process of trying to get shadows working on this park but thought I should post it for the community.

Art Deco
Brutalist
Victorian
High Tech

Fun idea.

If you’d like more architectural styles to work in, I’d like to see Streamline Moderne, Googie, and Mission Revival.

Core Hub Field

Based in the heart of downtown, Core Hub Field, seating 31,889, has narrow lines making it ideal for power hitting teams short on speed. Not completely a band box, center stretch out to normal power alleys and lower fences. The field features extensive modern architecture including the 400' suspended arch over the field and stand in front of an elevated highway and busy inner city streets.

You've got a terribly creative bent to your stadiums...I love 'em!

conception · 08-06-2020, 06:24 PM

Pretty cool. I'm looking forward to brutalist.

ethanr · 08-07-2020, 01:50 AM

Thanks for this! I play modern 2D view (except for HR Challenge) so I'm going to add a batter's eye to the 2D images and use them for my game. Thank you!

Tower Ring Compound is a converted prison from the 1960s. With a concrete ring of blacked out windows and menacing wedges in the outfield, this throwback to geometric Brutalism will surely swallow a deep fly ball and your soul. The outfield is symmetrically linear walls of concrete. 30,664 lost visitors can sit to take in a game.

As a background, maybe some dark desolate forest?
stadium looks great

The brutalist stadium would work well with a background of Chandigarh.

I think you nailed it. I was looking for places in Eastern Europe and old USSR but wouldn't have thought of India.

Deft · 08-22-2020, 05:06 PM

Tower Ring Compound link is updated with background!

Deft · 08-24-2020, 08:48 AM

Resolved some seating issues and added entrance signs.

Ty Cobb · 08-24-2020, 12:49 PM

Tower Ring might be a good fit for my Upper Peninsula League, as Kinross is the site of 3 different state penitentiaries on the former Air Force Base. Love your work, sir!

Deft · 09-22-2020, 05:52 PM

Bethlehem Ballpark, est. 1926, is a throwback to the glory days of sandstone Art Deco design. The field is a classic pitcher's park with symmetrical dimensions. Tight seating and an enclosed shell with towers down both lines gives this park an intimate feel. I hope you enjoy!

Art Deco - Bethlehem Ballpark

ethanr · 09-30-2020, 07:08 PM

That Bethlehem Park is a work of art. Such a great look!

dishnet34 · 10-04-2020, 12:19 PM

My only criticism of Bethlehem is the white space around the scoreboard at the top of CF - makes it seem a bit out of place; should be easy to replace that space with another color and create transparency out of that. Other than that, it looks awesome.

The MCM park link isn't working

Good suggestion! I removed the material to fit the scoreboard shape and support structure. I updated the link!
