This is another one of my favorites. I actually made a scale model of this design, although the model had a curved grandstand behind home plate, instead of this design's angular grandstand.
Maybe I'll post a photo or two of the model later...

Scale Model
This is the model I did based on the design above, again, with the rounded grandstand. I built my models using "real" construction technology. Not rocket sceince, just cardboard cantilever sections to support the decks. As you can see, the entire upper deck and press level are supended over the lower bowl using cantilevers.

That works out to... 68 cents an hour...how could I refuse.  $25 wouldn't even pay for half of the materials needed, never mind a weeks labor.

Nice designs, Elvis! You have great ideas, and I should say that I'd pick you over HOK to build a baseball stadium, because HOK has a huge grudge against double decked stadiums like Tiger Stadium, and HOK makes ballparks look too bland, stale, and too similar to other ballparks made by them. Your ideas are more refreshing.
 (Go Elvis!)I seem to like the six-corner ballpark and the Polo Grounds inspiration ballpark, they look nice. Again, way more original than what HOK would think up of. Last edited by Knick9; 12-25-2005 at 10:50 AM.

I like the first one.
Lots of foul territory.

I'm sorry, but I can't resist!
Elvis has left the building he designed!  Eddie Cunningham P.S. Seriously, keep up the good work! I wonder if there is a way to design a modern ballpark with the uneven grandstand of old Griffith Stadium?

Elvis can you design a Small minor league stadium? A minor league stadium holds 15,000? With a overhang roof protecting rain from fans without poles that obstruct a fans view? And its got to have foul territory like in oakland.

Minor League teams make a lot of mistakes and errors.Even good minor league teams play poor fielding errors.Thats why you need lots of foul territory cause they have to learn to earn the outs Batters hit balls in the stands to escape the strikeouts but if you hit a pop up and he catches it it helps out the fielding and pitching.Theres no excuse why you cant catch a pop up.No excuse for it at all.

A decent minor league park to design is the Epicenter where the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes play

I like the tri-deck design. It creates an extremely cosy atmosphere at the game. What would you estimate the capacity to be for such a stadium.

Well these are the coolest things I've ever seen! Got any more scans of models that you built? The second one is interesting. And the 3rd one is my fav...
Are you working on anything new?

Hey, Just out of curiosity how much would you charge for a small model of Wrigley? i probably won't be able to afford it (downside of being 15) but who knows maybe something would happen. I'd reckon a few hundred.
