For example I'm 42 and I never watched a game from one of those stadiums. If they had went Tiger, old Comiskey,and Candlestick, then mixed in some turfs, I am for my own wants going Riverfront ( you could sub veterens, or Three Rivers) the '70's Busch and the Astrodome you would have a good mix of really old parks and the cookie cutter era but their all stadiums that people could have reasonably watched games from. Once again spoken with no real knowledge of the business just from what I want and it seems from the throwback rosters people do that would have covered a lot of ground that people would want.

I think they went in with that first batch as a test run...they were low cost(except for the Polo Grounds....they wanted one or the other...Ebbets or Polo) to see if they could come relatively close to keeping it going.
Not so close.
I'm not sure how close they could come to trying to resemble some real old time stadiums without getting "in trouble"...but that would work for me!
Just gotta keep asking.
