I hope somebody can make the home of the 1987 and 1991 World Champion Minnesota Twins. I would, but I don't have the knowledge or talent. Someone did it for '04, and really kicked *** at it, so I'm hoping it can be done again.

the only thing there, in an otherwise very nice mod, is the "grass", it kinda looks too "grassy". It is in all actuality AstroPlay. Five, I was wondering if you think it's possible to get that "carpet look" feeling. That is what it really looks like, carpet :lol:

I got one right here, I will look for a better one of course, but you can see that different shimmer from the fake grass, a bit, hehehe. New pic coming.

above a little pic of the fake grass.

Explanation from the manufacturer FIELD TURF:

The most striking difference is immediately obvious. Instead of a dense, abrasive rug, FieldTurf’s fiber surface is soft, silky - like new blades of grass in a spring meadow. Players can slide, tackle and tumble on FieldTurf’s unique blend of specially treated Polyethylene fibers without fear of abrasions. Rug burns are a thing of the past. The old hatred of “turf†- voiced so loudly by players, trainers, coaches, the media, even parents and doctors - simply vanishes, a distant memory from the rough “carpet age.â€

same stuff as t.o., its so slow

well it is different, because it feels just like grass, from afar usually looks also like grass, but it is actually the same rubber material that can be found on any sneaker. Very different from the Blue Jays turf or many football turfs. I read the whole article and everything about it, and it is only marginally slower than what you would think. This is a very new " turf type ".

This is a wideshot, but I think you can see clearly that these are artificial "grass" layers next to each other...

Actually, those are leftover lines from a football game. You can see the yard markers on the sideline if you look close enough.

Obviously you can tell this isn't actual grass, but it's a lot better than the old stuff. I just wish they'd go the Tropicana Field route and put in a full dirt infield.
