xman Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 As a Sox fan, I always wonder what it would be like if more teams kept their pre-war and slightly later digs into the modern era. So if I don't like the current park a team uses, I put them in their corresponding classic park. Here is my list: Mets --> Polo Grounds Reds --> Crosley Cards --> Busch I Yankees --> Classic Yankee Angels --> LA Wrigley (When it comes out) Twins --> Municipal Stadium Royals --> KC Municipal (When it comes out) Phillies --> Shibe (to be Baker Bowl when it is released) Tigers --> Tiger Stadium Pirates --> PNC is nice, but I like Forbes Nationals --> Griffith White Sox --> Comiskey (When it comes out) I also turned the Ottawa Lynx (AAA) into the Montreal Expos and moved them back into Olympic and use the mod to change the St. Lucie Mets into the Brooklyn Cyclones and play at Ebbets. Does anyone else do something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean O Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Heh, I like your subtle hints in that post. I'm workin' on em! Me, there's a reason why I started work on most of those parks, because I adore the '61 mod and wanted it to be as accurate as possible. I tend to play AA and AAA games in classic parks, just so they aren't wasted. Especially Ebbets and Classic Yankee, which are so, so gorgeous.

DJEagles Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I sometimes play the Jays at Olympic Stadium. Pretend I am taking pity on the baseball fans in Montreal, and usually play a series in June, and one in August...other then that, stick to the usual MLB stadiums.

tebjr Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Sean, what is the possibility of being able to make Exhibition Stadium, the old home of the Jays? Is there a good base to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 No, all the bases are pretty weak for Exhibition. Plus, it's just not a historically important stadium, really. I think if I wanted to do a rarely used park, I'd go for the Huntington Avenue Grounds, or Colt Stadium, or something. But, you never know. If someone wants to make a mid-80s mod, I could get inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'm working on an '88 mod right now, but I have no clue on making stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_arrrr Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Once I get the Skydome circa 94 completed.. I'm gonna take a shot at the Exhibition stadium. Even if it's not 100% accurate, I'd like to give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xman Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hey take your time SeanO, I'm patient . I was thinking of doing either League Park (Cleveland), Roosevelt Stadium (Jersey City), or Seals Stadium (SF) once I'm done with my Staten Island "training project" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
