Labatt Stadium mod: The Stadium That Should Have Been


evilselig

Recommended Posts

i'd like to build a mod for Labatt Stadium for the Expos and take the Nationals out of the game. I don't have time to work on such a project till at least late fall, but if you've seen pictures of the proposed stadiums what do you think would be a good stadium to use as a base? I'm thinking PNC park...

Im not sure, but it sounds like a great mod. Id like to see the expos back myself. I miss them somehow, but Im not sure why............Maybe they were the farm system for MLB............lol

PNC would be a really bad base. US Cellular Field and Angel Stadium are your best bets, or Dodger Stadium if you lop off the upper deck. Then, you just need to construct the bleachers along the outside, and it shouldn't be too hard.

edit:

Labatt Park technically never had a finalized design, because it never got to that point. Do you mean this (the only one I'd seen): http://www.ballparks.com/baseball/national/monbpk.htm

or this:

For the latter, PNC would be the perfect base. Personally, I radically prefer the former, but that's just me.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

i prefer the latter, and that's why i was thinking PNC, everything seems to be in correct positioning so much so that labatt looked like a PNC ripoff!

but then again, i'm not very good at OEdit and never built a stadium before. i may have to message you for some specific questions, but just like the real labatt, i'm not sure if i'll ever get this project off the ground! i'm hoping i'll have some time in august. also i'm on a mac down here at school so all i'd be able to do for now is make some graphics and OEdit isn't mac compatible.

but i'm actually living in quebec in july for school so hopefully i can bring back some quebecois ideas with me ;)

sizemore, i'm visiting jacobs field for the first time next weekend vs texas! it's only 4 hours away from me and i haven't saw it yet! ironically i've seen 25 other stadiums, go figure.

also sean, the first link you provided doesn't have enough detail to see what's what. i agree dodger stadium would be the best base for that one, but again, i can't make out what's in the actual field from those pics. plus i like the little waterfall section in the second batch of pictures :)

I did a Labatt park mod for High Heat and wasd planning on doing one for MVP 2005. Actually, I've already started working on the skyline. Maybe we could join our efforts in such a project?

hey iron,

i remember your HH Labatt.

i'd be more than happy to do any graphics needed, billboards, ads, etc..

like i said i can't do any oediting on my mac, but any graphics, yes.

alright, keep in touch with the progress! hopefully we can make this mod a reality. i'm also going to do some audio editing so the announcers say welcome to "Labatt Stadium" and make sure they say "Expos" again.

I had your Labatt mod for high heat as well and it was very good. I can't wait to see what the two of you can do on a project like this!
