Kriegz Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 So pirate, when do you think this will be done? Cuz I can't wait! He said it like a million times already. Around opening day so he knows what all of the ads are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Thank you TribeTime... I am just waiting on the ads. I think they are being put up as we speak. Another disclaimer, no different than the others, but I see some new people who are intrested and have probably not read the thread. This stadium will not be a perfect replica by any means. Wall distances will not be correct in this first version, but will hopefully be updated at a later date. It should be good enough for all of us, but i don't want people getting all upset thinking I have recrreated the perfect and absolute replica. Release date is coming soon.

ming Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I cant wait for this park from you Pirate. Thanks for the work you put into our games. By the way, how are you diggin the desert? If it wasnt so dry this would probably be a good time of year in Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 It rained all day Saturday and then snowed in the Mountains 15 minutes north. So this weekend was a pile of much needed crap. Of course I had visitors from the cold regions and they wanted sun and fun instead tehy got a couple inches of precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about the crap weather, funny that it's cloudy and crappy in Arizona, and sunny and warm in the Northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhutsell Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Funny, but the only ad that I've seen up inside the stadium is an American Electronics ad in the top right corner of the out of town scoreboard (red text on white background). That was last week, though. Don't know if you're interested in adding it, or if it is even possible, but they are working on ads for the back of the main scoreboard. There are Bank of America and Coca-Cola boards, one more that's blank, with a large Bud Light neon going up top. On the back of the out-of-town scoreboard, looks like they're going with ad panels around some sort of video display in the center. Haven't figured that one out yet. Anything similar at other new-retro parks? The only other thing I've noticed is that at least the bottom left and bottom right signs on the main scoreboard will be changeable. Sign installation isn't really progressing like I had assumed. Looks like the Hardee's sign will be animated...guess it takes the place of the neon flying Cardinal in CF at Busch II.

Pirate Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Thank you sir. I am looking forward to seeing the ribbon board advertising. I can't figure out what is going to be on that video stip on the Out of Town scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stix Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 There are a few updated pics on the Cards site in the construction gallery. New Busch on mlb.com Yeah, in the Photo Gallery section at the bottom under "2006" it has a nice up-close shot of the Hardees sign if you need that.

Pirate Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 I should be finishing everything up on this tonight. The structure will be done, the press boxes will be redone a bit, the Bud Light sign will be in place, the wall behind home plate should be finished and the skyline is going to be reconfigured. I am going to set up the ads, so that when they are finalized and fleshed out in real life I can just drop them in and be done with it. So we are just waiting on the ads to be placed on the various parts of the stadium. I think we are a long way off seeing as the walls are not up, but the turf is being laid down as we speak.

HardcoreLegend Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Pirate, the ads are up on the out of town scoreboard. Unfortunately though, I can't 'zoom' in on the webcam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Those black roofs are harsh looking, all these retros are starting to look the same. Stadiums should try to imitate Kaufman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLegend Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Those black roofs are harsh looking, all these retros are starting to look the same. Stadiums should try to imitate Kaufman. Yeah, but if you look at it, the layout of the stadium with those roofs are a shifted version of Sportsman's Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I actually like the black roof on the new park, I think it adds something, overall, to the park. However, all my previous comments remain the same. I just wish parks would try to find something unique, not quirky, just unique. Why don't ballpark architects takes lines and forms into account, rather than just spewing the same basic design at us all the time? PNC is a great place to see a game, but in terms of architecture just doesn't compare to Kauffman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 I need some help, the St. louis Community College has a website with a web cam on it. The camera's are controllable, but I am never able to get it to work. Could some one try to get get some screen caps from this camera... Here is a link to the camera. http://www.stlcc.edu/distance/media/roofcam.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Ok here is a photo from the KMOV new chopper... I can tell that the upper-left hand corner is a Schnucks ads and the upper-right hand ad is an electronics store that is mentioned in an earlier post, but what is below that.

HardcoreLegend Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 It's that financial company, I believe. Arrggg...what's the name. It used to show the stock quotes in old Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
