can't wait to bounce a few dozen homers off the scoreboard at Statesman Park.

Seeing these new stadiums really make me wish I played RTTS mode or focused on the AAA/AA teams in Franchise.

Will probably only use them in exhibition games waiting for OSFM to come out.

I feel the same way. I'll play a handful of minor league games over the course of the season. I do play the All-Star games so I'll use the stadiums then as well.

One thing I do is that I play ST games in minor league parks instead of the ST sites.

is this the start of the releasing of dev journals (like the RTTS one etc)

These stadiums look great. However, I have a question, what is the reason for not adding real life minor league stadiums of all the playable AA, and AAA teams? I think it would add a lot of realism, and authenticity. It would be fun to play in some of the Cal League stadiums, and score 15 runs a game...lol

But anyways, Crystal Falls looks like a pitching haven, with those dimensions

I am no expert, but I would say licensing is the reason.

It probably has to do with the cost of rights.

These new fields look pretty cool, and they work well with Diamond Dynasty. I played with Stomp Ground Fields a lot last year, so maybe one of these new stadia will peak my interest.

Kevin decided to incorporate the west coast look of the Santa Monica Pier, blended with a Coney Island style for the unique background you see beyond the right field wall.

I like the look of this stadium..be pretty cool to see all that beyond the field while in the Batter's Box
