Sick's Stadium was the oh-so-temporary home to the failed Seattle Pilots expansion team that became the Milwaukee Brewers. It was a small, converted minor league park, that had difficulty accommodating major league ball. It did not even have lights, so no night baseball was seen in Seattle until 2000, 31 years later.

This comes in two versions, dusk and cloudy in the day and nite slots respectively. In the night version, you will get real rain for the first few innings. Just not enough to call the game.

Let me know of anything that needs tweaking or fixing up. I'm a lot happier with this than I was with Colt or many others.

Enjoy!

I actually played in sicks stadium in 1975 when I filled in at short stop for a semi-pro team. They were building the kingdome at the time.

No way, weird. Finding good pics was hard to come by, so this is more of an ode to Sick's Stadium than a 100% accurate representation.

You know, kinda like what EA did with Fenway Classic, only if they had to use third-party tools and magically couldn't find the dozens and dozens of pictures of old Fenway.

Not a bad stadium at all, I really liked playing in it. Since I won the game, you won't be excommunicated from the site. :lol:

(Why do I have to feel I have to explain it is a joke for the mentally challenged out there?)

I love the cars you put in the background. What a tough ballpark to play in. 447 feet to dead center? And 334 down the left field line was no bargain.

Yeah I won. I should have, I used the '78 Champs against the sad sack Seattle team of 1969.

Sadly all that's left of Sick's Stadium now a Home Depot Parking lot. The spot where home plate is marked by the store's entrance, but that's all that remains. Good work Sean O!

1969's coming right after 1964, hence the sudden interest in the temporary piece-of-crap parks. As a side note, I'll be uploading a fixed up Colt Stadium that fixes a few things in the near-ish future, as I can't believe I missed the gaping hole beyond the right field corner. Yikes. And I'll also make the batter's eye look a lot better, probably just by greyscaling it.

My cat's looking at my evil for some reason. Bonus points: his name is Konstantin, but we call him by the familiar, Kostya. If you can guess from what piece of literature we culled his name, you'll get the beta version of Yankee Stadium 1978 or Baltimore Memorial!

hint: Bird's the word.

Nope, I just keep making parks as people announce projects. As far as I know, '64 should be coming in the next few weeks, then it's a battle between '56 and '69. Each of the latter only have one park currently unavailable (Roosevelt and Jarry), so at least stadiums won't be a deterrent.

Oooh, so close, but not quite. Remember the hint (Birds), and the fact that if I named my cat after something from Anna Karenina, I'd have to kick his *** after time I saw him.

I was surprised, thinking that you were not a Tolstoy fan.

Let me think a bit more. That was the book that instantly popped into my head, and I don't even think I noticed your hint before....

And even if you don't like Anna Karenina, can we at least agree that Anna Karina was a gorgeous human being?

I'm sure Godard got his hands on her at some point, that old French *******.

Anyway...Seattle Pilots, huzzah!

ARGGGGGGH!

I got too caught up in thinking of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy and "books," and forgot about my favorite of the Russian writers. I'm thinking I know the answer now, having flipped through my collection by this writer, though it's something I haven't read in a long, long, long time. I'm not sure if I should answer, considering I already gave the wrong answer once.

My new potential hint, which will probably lead you to the wrong answer, is that the author didn't occur to me until I was reading someone's defense of Star Trek: Wrath of Khan as the best submarine movie of all time.

Am I on the right track, SeanO?
