great mod, but for some reason, the grass still shimmers :(

did you try the "Fix" for the grass problem? do a search on the boards and find the thread. It may work.

The O's now have the brick from the backstop down to about the foul poles now. They better add some padding to it soon, Bigbie ran into it today and got pretty pissed off.

"New things to look for at the stadium this year are the brick work at field level extends almost to the foul poles now, there is a new ribbon board below the JumboTron and the Orioles added 80 lights to help illuminate the seating bowl by about 50%."

Yep I heard about this and I have started to make the changes. The brick wasn't easy but I found a way to do it and it looks pretty good. I'll post some screens in my WIP thread later.

Big O, I'm a huge Oriole fan and I love your work.

Last night I just downloaded your stadium. I played several games just to see the detail. Keep up the good work!!!!

One minor suggestion... In the centerfield jumbotron, the teams were always displayed Red Sox vs O's. Is there a way to get the teams playing to show here? I never noticed in EA's version whether this happened or not. I just started looking in detail at Oriole Park because it really looked like opening day!

Well if you thought it looked like opening day hang on to your socks cause it's gonna get even closer in v.2.0. Check out this thread for more...

As for the teams - no the current team doesn't show up unfortunately, I needed to make the progress boards match the scoreboard so I chose the Sox because that was on the pic of the progress boards. It's better than the default blurry one that EA used... 8)

I will be uploading my pictures from Friday's game shortly, Big O.

The only problem is, I was sitting in the VERY last row of the stadium, up above third base. I walked around the Inner Harbor area for a while, and since I was sitting next to a 300 pound Red Sox fan, even though he is the funniest person on this earth, it was quite hard to get up and get decent pictures of the ads below me. Also, some of the angles on the ads are bad, and some are blurry due to my poor photography skills, but they are still workable. I tried my best!

I can't believe how many Red Sox fans were there! 600 from our bus trip, plus another 15,000 or so in the park!

Is Big O doing an update? If I'd known that I would have taken pics from Sundays game. I do know the strike out sign is under the jumbotron now, not down the right foul line. Other than that, I think the rest of the ads were the same.

Yep I've resumed work on Oriole Park v.2.0 after my Fenway hiatus. I have to see what mastasports took for the remainder of shots but I really need a good hi-res shot of the Direct TV ad in the LF corner and good hi-res pics of all the ads along the third base line. I would also like a close up shot of the bullpen ads. It would be great if these were all head on too. If worst comes to worst I'll keep hunting on Webshots and if that fails I'll get them myself when I see the O's play the Sox in Sept in Baltimore.

My shots, which are just about 98% done uploading right now, have some decent shots of the 3B line ads as well as the Direct TV ad. As far as the bullpen ads, I don't have any head-on shots, but reconstruction is possible in PSP or PS, since they are fairly similar to last season's. Like you said, checking webshots shouldn't hurt.

Once you download those, I have about the final 20 in a pack for you.
