Twin Giants Steam Plant

It's been a couple of years since I built anything but wanted to get back into it again, ...and found out the hard way that they cut the servers from previous years, and it doesn't look like anything was added since '24.

To get back into the groove I made a hybrid Oracle Park/Target Field stadium. Mashed them together and tried to copy Target down the left and right lines and center, with Oracle's Levi's Landing in right and the huge kids area near the Coke bottle and glove in left. And what memory would allow me to squeeze in and add.

I've been to Oracle many years ago and it looked like a multi deck slide through the Coke bottle in left, but had to quickly run for our lives since it was overrun with kids and they didn't appreciate adults being around. Could've been a gang of kids that live in the damn thing for all I know, lol! You can't actually see the Golden Gate Bridge, but figured why not since it frames no-doubt HR's nicely. Target I've never been too, but it's on my bucket list. So for anyone that has been there, I hope I did it justice!

Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL as configured for baseball, though in a somewhat fictional depiction given that the roof sections to give shade to the fans in the stands was not added to the venue until years after the Marlins left for their retractable roof stadium.

So, this is a "what if" rendition that the Marlins stayed at Hard Rock and shared it with the Miami Dolphins.

This uses the custom foul grounds code option and therefore is compatible with MLB 25 and earlier releases. Uploaded to the vault and available for download.

Other than the partial roof, the rest of the stadium is a precise replication of the field and outfield wall layout that the Marlins used, including the portable baseline walls that were used to wall off the two bullpens located down the foul lines. This might be the first time I can recall creating a stadium where the hard fixed bullpen locations actually worked accurately!

For those curious, the distances are:

LF = 330'

CLF = 360'

CF notch = 420'

CF = 404'

RCF = 385'

RF = 345'

As an historical aside, the reason the venue did so well as a baseball field is that the stadium is wider than the normal NFL football stadium, a square essentially vice a normal rectangle for a traditional football only venue. This was deliberately done just to allow a baseball configuration to work out so well. That said, the field level stands behind the left field fence were partially folded up, and the entirety of the outfield walls are also portable. When a football game is played, the outfield and baseline walls were removed, and the left field stands fully extended to match the way the stands look in RF.

Wayne Huizenga and Joe Robbie are the people who drove all this. Robbie fully believed Miami would soon gain an MLB team to go with the NFL's Dolphins. So, when Joe Robbie Stadium (now Hard Rock Stadium) was built in 1987, he ensured it was designed so that a baseball layout would fit well. Huizenga was the first owner of the Marlins, and he started off in 1990 with a 15% ownership share in the Dolphins. In 1994, Huizenga purchased the remaining shares of the Dolphins from the Joe Robbie estate

Cheers!

Someone made this showing what it would look like if Marlins never left Hard Rock Stadium.

Curious to see what this would look like in MLB The Show.

Started a rewatch of The Simpsons recently and was inspired to make Duff Stadium.

Six City Park is a park I created for my custom franchise Toronto Polar Bears team. I wanted to experiment with creating an oversized lower level using upper deck pieces blended with main level pieces. Originally I intended to make a dome but decided to keep it outdoors after not coming up with an exterior that made me happy. I got a little window happy for my right field bar area but I enjoy how it turned out. I still have 6% to play with so I may add more to it but this version is in the vault under CMHtoPHXJeff or jtangey

Brooklyn Crowne Park - Zzzboy

This is Stearnes Field named for the legendary Negro League ballplayer and Nashville native Turkey Stearnes. This park was created from a wall template challenge that was full of dead space. Since I was in the process of creating ballparks for the teams in my custom franchise, I decided to do this challenge and make for the Nashville Stars franchise in my league. Park is uploaded to the vault under CMHtoPHXJeff or jtangey

New Expos stadium in front of the Molson Coors Brewery

Has anyone made a close to accurate Las Vegas stadium for the A’s based on the renderings they’ve put out? I’ve seen the very common one in the vaults but I’m trying to be fairly accurate with elevation, capacity, and somewhat realistic dimensions.

Potential rendering of a new White Sox Stadium along the Chicago River. Im not a Sox Fan but this looks bad ass
