That's what is misleading about it. The fact sheet also says the following are available: Future's game, minor league stadiums, mascots, home run derby, weekly roster updates, and new camera system. All of those are accessible straight out of the box, with nothing extra needed to be done. To me, there's nothing that differentiates classic stadiums as not being in the same category as the others. It's not a big deal since they offer it for free with a pre-order, but I have a feeling people who don't realize it's only free with a pre-order are going to be mad when they get their game and classic stadiums aren't there.
