Pirate dude you gotta hook your night version up with some night lights man. If you don't want to then when you release this i'm going to do it for you. Other than that it looks great. I'm talking about scoreboard lights etc.

I did a rough CAD version of the park, and it looks like it would take a shot of about 575' to hit a ball out on a path over the LF bullpen and bleachers (just to the right of the LF decks). So, unless Albert starts hanging out with the BALCO bunch, I don't think it'll happen. But it would be nice to be proven wrong.

It would take about 550' to take one down the LF line, but then you'd have to clear the roof.

Guess it could happen in MVP...

Well, looks like it is possible that I was proven wrong, on the first day of BP...but I doubt it.

Yeah, I'm heading over from work. The gates open at 4:00, so I'll be taking pics for the first couple of hours. I have an older Sony F707 digital camera (top of the line back when it came out), but the largest memory stick it will take is 128MB, so I'll be constantly running back and forth to the parking garage to unload it onto my laptop (Ltop battery died on me, have to run it off truck battery...). I've got a newer Fuji I'll be loading up, too. I'll try to re-shoot everything when the sun goes down for the night version.

If I miss out on anything, I should be able to get access to the open house this weekend.

I wish I had a little experience with stadium modding, so I'd know how you will piece it together. Probably make it easier on both of us.

I'll give you a run down on how I do it.

You take a photo I look at it. If the ad is shot straight on, the corners are pretty close to right angles I will cut it out and set it aside. I will then got to the next ad and do the same. If the ads are next to each other I will cut them out and paste them back to gether to get the corners as straight as possible.

What I really need is the Ads at the bottom of the main Scoreboard. The rotate and change I only need on phase. I think it is Best Buy and some Harley shop and Casino Queen.

I also need the out of town scoreboard. The ads on the top and bottom that are between The American TV and Schnucks ads and the AG EDwards and other investment ad. As well as the big yellow strip ad below that.

I also need the ads above the wall in left field and next to the right field bullpen. I need the new Hardees ad on the wall and the other wall ads.

Finally the ads behind the plate. Thanks so much.

Holy funking cow. How about that first game by the cards? Two homers by Pujols? A grand slam by Rolen IN Philly? I can't wait to see these guys play in the new stadium - in real life AND in Pirate's masterpiece in MLB! :wink: You're doing such an amazing Job, man. Thanks again from everybody in Cardinals' Nation for putting so much effort into this.

Here's a couple of small pics from last night's VIP tour. A friend of mine that works for Fox Sports took them. Wish I'd have known she was going so I could have invited myself.

That looks like a beautiful stadium. I love the view from behind home. :D

I'm sure going to miss the old Busch Stadium though. :cry: I can't count how many times the family went there from the late 60s to early 80s.

I'm so pumped to see this thing!

You and me both.

I've got tickets for later this month, so I can finally see the brand new park in person. I'm almost as excited to see Pirate's version for MVP as well... which proves what a dork I am. :wink:

By the way - your name is the funniest dang thing I've ever seen.
