The Kingdome was a large circle, whereas the Metrodome is rectangular, even though they feature similar dimensions. Tropicana Field is circular as well, with a nice roof, but it might be too small...

...how about using the Astrodome?

Use the Astrodome, it's the best base. Raise the rest of the outfield seating (in center) in line with the left and right field stands, then smooth everything over.

Sean,

I just sent you a pm.

did I just lose my job as the creator of the kingdome? Hey SeanO, could you show me what you mean? I was planning on using Tropicana Field, but it seems like you have an idea on how to make the Astrodome into the Kingdome.

CC, no. I was showing him the discussion we had as to why you wanted to use the Trop over the Astrodome as your base stadium.

Ok, I actually wish SeanO would post a pic of what he means about using the Astrodome. I might re-consider using Tropicana.

Kinda hard to post a picture, but here goes:

You see the middle 8 sections lower than the others? You need to raise those up so they're flush with the sides of the outfield. Here was my response to the PM:

The trop is a perfectly acceptable solution, but when I briefly considered doing the Kingdome I'd planned on using the Astrodome. Here's why:

1). The upper deck wraps all the way around in the Astrodome after the 90's expansion. The trop does not.

2). The outfield at the Astrodome is far closer to that of Kingdome. You just need to make the inner fence in left field of the Astrodome shorter, and as I mentioned raise the center field seating so it's not right at the fence level and matches that of left and right field. In the trop, there's no seating in center at all.

3). The roof itself is higher and more accurate in the Astrodome. At the Trop, the roof is raked at a rather extreme angle, and is unlike the style used in Seattle.

4). The dimensions of Astrodome are almost exactly those of the Kingdome, so it's an easier fix, if you don't know wall.dat.

5). Astrodome already has the dirt pads around the bases rather than having a full dirt infield like the Trop. If you haven't modded mfield before, it's minorly important.

To me, I'd much rather ace the outfield as opposed to the decks. While it's nice to have everything as accurate as possible, you spend about 95% of the game looking at the outfield, and about 5% looking at the infield seating decks.

Those are just my suggestions, best of luck in your project.
