I love to see the liveliness of parks like that, but don't they close off Sheffield and Waveland for games? Or is that only for playoffs or something?

Me too.

Yep Jim, cloud speed and direction is determined by in-game wind speed and direction. As are flag directions and speeds...;-)

[begin ultimate clarification]Yes, due to time constraints, the daytime games have shadows locked. The time of day varies stadium to stadium but generally we choose something that looked good in that particular stadium, between 1pm and 4pm. It was dissapointing, but the change over to global lighting took us a looong time. We had to make sure all the dusk to night transitions looked perfect before we could go back to day. Its first on the list for next year. We promise! ;-) [end ultimate clarification]

Thanks Pat!

..and I'm glad you picked what looked best rather than one specific time for all.
Does that change during the year(the time picked?)....meaning...you again picked what looked best later in the year as opposed to earlier?

Thanks...

LOL... Jim I wouldn't count on it. But I kind of have a feeling you were being a little sarcastic.
