The version of Sportman's park appears to be the most recent version of the park. It was built in 1920 and in 1954 renovations took place which included removing seats in center field and replacing them with shrubbery. I believe the final dimensions were Dimensions: LF 351 LCF 379 CF 420 RCF 354 RF 310. Left handed pull hitter's dream ballpark. Shibe Park was built in 1909 and the higher wall in RF was added by Connie Mack in 1935 to block the view of people sitting on the roofs across the street because people selling roof top tickets were hurting attendance. Attendance in the video is listed at 33,608 which was the attendance for the final configuration of the ballpark. If the dimensions are also the final version they would be LF 334 LCF 387 CF 410 RCF 390 RF 329 and if those are the dimensions in the show I'll probably use Shibe because it is pitcher friendly but not extreme.

I know this isn't very scientific but here are some numbers from some Diamond Dynasty games from a couple years ago. Shibe wasn't very pitcher friendly. I'm guessing it was because the straight walls made the gaps shorter than normal or or something else.

If I remember the PS3 version , Polo Grounds had some marks on left/right fields and center field somewhere. Think so. Maybe I dreamed that as well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Polo Grounds was 447 feet to left center, 440 to right center, and 483 to dead center. 279 to the left field foul pole and 258 to the right field foul pole. I can't tell from pictures where the markings where, except for center field as you can see here from THE CATCH!

Thanks - those websites give park effects including for some of the classic parks but I can't attest to their accuracy.

SCEA has a stream scheduled on 3/15 to discuss and show off the classic stadiums.



Let's wait until them to discuss/critique.
