i dont know what stadium this is...but it is well done. Good work Elvis, i wish i had that skill

[uberpsycho]

Actually the exteriors and such looks more like it could be someone's rich, outdoor home instead of the typical sports stadium.

The colors are not in agreement with me, but that is a very nice model you constructed.

I lack the technical knowledge of architecture, but I admire you actually creating a scale baseball stadium.

[PeteU]

At long last!

Good job, Elvis.

Awesome job. :clapping I'd have to say I'm not excited about the exterior but the colors and seating arrangement are great. So are the the luxury suites up under the roof above the second deck? I like that concept. Why do those people need to be close to the action? They are never watching the game, they use the stadium as a backdrop to entice clients, etc. Great job on the model.

Thats great elvis! you made the colors grow on me. I love the way you made the seating behind homeplate, and then down the sidelines and outfield, it looks so retro, like double deck stands. But behind homeplate it looks modern and it is a very good placement of the press and lux suiets. The roof around the seats is very well done. I would take that over WAS new design anyday.

Gorgeous, a perfect park for the Marlins. It's classic without being horribly derivative, and still covers all of the requisite points. The outside gardens clearly recall Schenley Park outside of Forbes Field, extending the ballpark beyond the walls.

Plus, hooray for cantilevers! Hope it sells for a bunch.

[Toy Boat]

Very nice. The exterior looks like something Frank Lloyd Wright would've done.

Very impressive Elvis. It may be a bit premature but do you have a third design you are planning to build? You have definately raised the bar high with this one.

[Lafferty Daniel]

This is bad ass Elvis. It would fit in so nice in Southern Cali. I can picture this stadium right next to the Pacific Ocean. Love your "top deck" too.

Thank you very much.

Thanks. :happy: FLW is very much an inspiration in my designs.

You know, I never intended that, but you're right.

I love cantilevers.

Thanks. The color is "coastline blue", so that works. Yeah, the top deck is definitely Chavez Ravine inspired. I had to remove the photo you posted--I adjusted the exposure:

may have been stated but im lost, whats your expected seating capacity?

[Elvis]

may have been stated but im lost, whats your expected seating capacity?

About 42,000, including about 50-60 suites.

[Astros]

This is a great looking ballpark for California, especially with the mountains as a backdrop. Great work! Look forward to seeing the new one progress.

One question...

What do the silver towers provide at the front entrance and the outfield park areas? Are they elevator or stairway towers? I like this architectural incorporation into the light towers as well.

Thanks. The towers, although their prime intention for me was a design element, are also designed to be usable space, however, I haven't decided exactly what. I suppose that would be up to whomever built it. It could be office, museum, club space....

Perhaps the towers could have solar panels on them, then your ballpark could earn a LEED certificate for being eco friendly.

[PeteU]

I've got to ask, and I hope you don't mind, but...

Is that your backyard that you've taken the pictures in?

If so, I would say myself and everyone else would proclaim themselves to be insanely jealous. Talk about a setting!

[elmer]

Elvis.

Your design is at least a step above any existing park or any other design
i have seen.

It would be worth a trip to the moon to see it full scale. You have outdone
everyone else out there. It would be hard to imagine that it could be topped.

Elvis...excellent model not only in design but in the execution of the model. I have attached a photo of a baseball only stadium model I designed several years ago. We should go into business together designing stadiums!?
