maybe even get to pick from either a dirt infield or an astroturf one.
We would probably have to give up on getting to create foulball area sizes but I'd gladly accept that limitation.

the basic 3 (for my hopes) would be
1) Dome
2) open air stadium with no outfield stands and seating, you just pick from a choice of backdrop views like mountains or big city or ocean, among a few more.
3) a 'cookie cutter' multi-purpose for stadia like Atlanta's old Fulton County, Riverfront and Three Rivers. You could still use this type stadium to set fence angles and distances to get a stadium that has the feel of old Tiger Stadium Comiskey the Baker Bowl Ebbets.

also need to be able to decide outfield fence heights. over time sony could add other stuff if they had resources.

this would go a long way to help franchises used in historic rosters

I hope player quirks get a lot of attention and mention today

I'd actually just tweak this a bit and say 2 open air stadium options and 2 retractable roof stadiums (since no one actually builds domes anymore). This combined with a few expansion cities (Las Vegas, Portland, somewhere in North Carolina, Montreal with the option to move back into Olympic Stadium, and maybe one more). The rest would already essentially be in the game in terms of jersey creation (from DD).

I think if they wanted to do it gradually, a realistic option would be to create 2 stadiums and start with being able to move into a new stadium (Oakland and Tampa could move) in a game. Then, in the next years game, add 2 more stadiums and the ability for expansion using the 2 new parks and the current DD jersey and team creation system.

If they do it, it would be nice to be able to play as a team like the Mariners, but still be able to set the home ballpark of both the A's and the Rays (give them a new ballpark without having to play as them).
