New Braves Field

[danc]

Hey,

Is the new Braves Field stadium download for the Milwaukee Braves?

I thought that was called County Stadium.

Hope this is the right place for this question.

Thanks.

It's for the Boston Braves, circa 1956.

And I played in this park this morning! I enjoyed playing in it and it is now a permanent part of my TC 1951 mod. Thank you.

One thing Sean. The Braves last year in Boston was 1952. Was any other baseball played in this park after they left town?

Y4L - Here's what Wikipedia says:

After the Braves moved to Milwaukee just prior to the 1953 season, the stadium was sold to Boston University. The old ballpark was used as-is until 1955, when the university reconfigured the stands, demolishing all but the pavilion grandstand along the right field line, which was retained as the core of a football, soccer, field hockey and track-and-field stadium. The stadium was initially called Boston University Field and was later renamed Nickerson Field. Aside from the pavilion, parts of the ballpark retained included Gaffney's original outer wall; and the ticket office, which was converted to the university police station. The rest of the stadium property was replaced by dormitories covering the former main grandstand; and the Case Physical Education Center, which houses Walter Brown Arena and Case Gym in the vicinity of what was the left field pavilion along Babcock Street. Of the various demolished Jewel Box ballparks, Braves Field probably has the largest proportion of visible remnants still standing.

When you drive the Mass. Turnpike on the way into Boston, you can see Nickerson Field from the highway. I usually see it when I'm driving to Logan Airport.

As for Sean's version of the field, I too have added it to TC51. I'm in the process of updating all of my mods (TC51, TC56, TC78) with all of these new stadiums and will be releasing updates at some point. For TC51, PaulW has made some great roster tweaks that give even more realistic results.
