When I was in Junior High (I am now 22), I had a dream to become a stadium architect. We'll I downloaded Google Sketchup and messed around with it. Thought I would try building one of my ideas. Once I got it into Sketchup I had to make a few changes. I wanted to get your thoughts. It's a cross between Old tiger stadium, Fenway, Comiskey, The Jake, amongst others. I have yet to add the upper level.

 

A few notes on the stadium: Left field wall is 15' tall with a 20' tall scoreboard. In left center, the blue area is windows for a field level resteraunt. The gray area behind the left field wall is a huge party deck. Right fields updeck over hangs by 10' (much like old tiger stadium).

 

Dimensions:

LF- 360

Left Center - 360

Center- 400

Right Center- 370

RF- 325

The angles in center are a lot like Pro Player, I don't know if I like. Otherwise it's pretty cool.

That was the first thing i thought about when i saw the walls. Other than that its kick ass.

Thats really cool.

 

I'm downloading this to see if it can help me out with my backyard plans.

Angles, distances, who cares? It has green seats.

That's a good idea too.

looks more like green ramps to me...

360 down the left-field line with a 15' wall??? No marquee left-handed hitter will want to play there. Otherwise, it's pretty nice. A bit angular, but nice.

Looks like fun, but two hashmarks mean inches.

 

Anyone else read this and think of the Stonehenge scene in Spinal Tap?

I think you mean right-hander...

I think you need blue seats instead of green to start off...

A non-home run hitter would love to play in this park. A lot of ground for outfielders to cover = extra base hits and singles.

I'm going to shorten up the OF wall a little bit in RF. Probably 340 down the line.

That's a good idea too.

My attempt lasted about 3 1/2 minutes. Too confusing.

Here's the FInal Product.....

I'm not a fan, but thats just me. The outfield is too angular for my likes.

I had the same dream as you, If i was bored, i would draw out stadium plans all the time. I saved some of my good ones. Thanks for showing this to me so i can get back to my dream.

 

Try adding some windows to the final product. The outside looks bare, and is there any way to show us an angle from the outfield looking in?

I like it, but IMO I would add something behind the leftfield and centerfield fences, it just looks empty. Nice work though!

it looks alot like ameriquest field to me, escept for the angular outfield wall of course.

very nice! I see you got a chance to play with sketchup.

Old dreams never die.

Where's the seats behind home, lower and upper deck?

 

I like Random's for that reason...

Here's the FInal Product.....

 

 

you need some bleacher seating behind the restaurant IMO.. stack it high like in Miller Park.

I dont want to wrap the uper deck around because over the left field wall is where the scoreboard will be. So, here is what I did....
