philliesphan18 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Question: does the stadium have to have a name? I have the perfect onein mind. That would be cool to have to name the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsMS_35 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 ok where do you want it? center, right, or left? Doesn't matter, I'm just glad someone's doing a Marlins stadium! I was trying to use skethup to make one. Me and sketchup don't mix to well. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hey Flim, nice stadium first off.... this is off topic, but I was looking at your picture of your stadium and noticed that your start menu was black with an orange start button, and I was wondering what you used to do that? Im getting bored of my blue one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abc006 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Major progress, finished the tiers behind homeplate, added bleachers in left field. That's a clock in the main entrance, and from CF you see a manual scoreboard for the people in the bleachers. Speaking of scoreboards, I have no idea where the big scoreboard's going to go, perhaps I'll take out the restaurant and move the bullpen to the left, or put it in left field behind the bleachers, but that's a bad view from everyone else and kind of obstructed. Any advice? I also have to add the pressbox, below the top tier behind home, somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 ABC- nice work, very classic feel. One thing I would change is the infield upper deck, which is so narrowly angled the people would have virtually no view of the field. Also, you might want to consider something for the batter's eye, which might be a good place for your bullpens. Other than that, good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 His home plate isn't really aligned with his bullpen now. He could raise up the bleachers in dead center to have an eye there and have seats on top. Also, could the scoreboard go above the resteraunt/bullpens?

angryrat Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 ABC, you have my favorite so far. Very well designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 thanks angryrat! Sean O, I tried to make the lower tier have more seats than the upper one, but now I realize that you're right that it isn't quite steep enough. I just hope I can correct it without wrecking the whole stadium. The thing about the dimensions of the stadium is that there really isn't any room for the batter's eye, at least not directly aligned with the field, because there's no part of CF that's straight to home plate, it's kind of more facing to third base. Then again I could just make it at a slight angle where the dead CF bleachers are, it won't make too much difference, and then add the screen above it, like in Yankee Stadium, and add an upper tier in LF to make up for the lost seating in CF. I think I just answered my own question. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 A little sneak preview of the park structure itself. Dimensions: Corners: 330' Corners, end of curve: 380' Alley: 390' CF: 420' The aux. buildings are being redesigned, along with the grounds of the park. The curtain wall supports also haven't been added to the exterior, but should be going up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padday Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 This competition is starting to hot up. Too many great designs (mine being the bast of course... Just kidding) to choose from. I feel sorry for whoever ends up having to pick a winner. I'm wondering if anybody is submitting a hand drawn design. If so it might be a good idea to set up a seperate catagory for hand drawn and computer generated designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigleyville33 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 i do have a hand drawn one but i wont submit it because it is just a guide line for my 3d one. plus i didnt put much detail into the hand drawn one. does anyone know how i could get/make a 3d marlin? i have a pretty good idea of what im going to do, but i just need a marlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padday Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 ok just incounter another quesion, how to do get/put avertisements in you ballpark? Find a picture of the advertisement you want, save it to your pictures folder or wherever is most handy, go to the file tab in Sketchup and selct import. You should then be able to find your picture in the file where you saved it and then place it in your design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigleyville33 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 ok thanks, i figured it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I took out the bleachers in center, put a batter's eye in place of it, a little walking area above it, and the scoreboard above that. Also added some ads in the outfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiheat32 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 i added some updates to mine like covering, a patio and car in center, and padding for the wall. Im starting to lean towards the mets for my design just bc a retractable roof seems too hard to make for the rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 hmmm, that brick looks familiar. Just kidding, it looks really good, the awning is nice, the field is much less cluttered than, say, mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiheat32 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 yeah, the brick was the first exterior i saw, i will probably change it. what do you mean by cluttered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiheat32 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 just testing the look of the apple in right center added an out of town scoreboard changed to a different brick exterior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
