Favorite Classic Stadiums

[BigZell20]

What's everyone's favorite classic stadium so far?

I definitely have to go with Polo Grounds...because any stadium where you can hit a 470 ft. fly ball and have it legally caught in your own bullpen, is just simply amazing.

The wonky dimensions and wall height of a lot of the old stadiums is fun to mess around with.

My favorite is also the Polo Grounds. It is also done very well. However. Forbes Field is done very poorly and is inaccurate.

I cant stand playing at Forbes. It was a triple machine there. As for the Polo Grounds, I love playing there, with the huge straightaway center field and the short porches down the lines, a lot of fun, and the shadows were great.

I haven't played in all of them yet but right now, I really like the Polo grounds as well. Triples are very common, long , long(450ft+) fly ball outs. That stadium takes away a lot of hits but also gives you a lot only 255 down the line in right.

I'm diggin' the Polo Grounds also.
Sportsmans is nice digs too! Love that scoreboard.

I know Ebbets is out of the question($$$)...but that would automatically be my new instant favorite.

Tigers and Candlestick in this game would be FANTASTIC.

Re: Favorite Classic Stadiums

I'll give the nod to the Polo Grounds, but I only played in that one and Shibe park so far. I got Michael Bourne, Scott Podsednik & Jay Bruce patrolling the outfield so it's nice to see the speed get used to perfection.

Plus anywhere you can see Jason Varitek get a stand up triple is a special place.

Re: Favorite Classic Stadiums

I'd say Polo Grounds but I lost my franchise game to the Rockies because Brad Hawpe hit a game winning 3 run Inside-the-Park homerun.


It left a sour taste in my mouth. Let's just say next game I play there Tony Gwynn will be patrolling Left instead of Kyle Blanks.

Re: Favorite Classic Stadiums

Gotta go with Polo Grounds. Every game I've played there online has been insane, with the crazy bounces off the walls leading to about 250 triples per game. Plus it gives my speedy CF (Colby Rasmus) plenty of opportunities to go DEEP for balls
