I also did a Mets one. They are lying around somewhere. I gotta find them.

Okay, I found them.

Here's what I have as a framework: my Marlins Park sketches were all in the same scrapbook, and are incredibly faded now. I also drew Citizens Bank Park in that scrapbook, for reference (mind you this was completely from memory, as you can see many details are very far off). I scanned them as dark as humanly possible, but even then it wasn't enough.

The next three drawings are of the Marlins ballpark as a baseball field, football field, and an overhead shot I was working on.

Then apparently I found in that stack an incomplete "redrawing" of the Marlins baseball park. It comes through better, but of course it is incomplete.

Marlins Park (baseball) - new

The things that are similar to the official proposal are the retractable roof, "glass facade" in right field, and the left field has those arches on that brick wall. These were completely coincidental, as I drew this before the proposal was even made haha.

This final one is of a "Shea Stadium II" that I drew in high school. Thankfully, this one was already scanned so I have the digital file saved. I have no idea where the original copy is anymore, which is too bad because I always wanted to draw a city skyline backdrop with it.

I want to get into this hobby again. Drawing "new stadiums" is always very fun.

EDIT: Spelled "restaurant" wrong in Shea Stadium II.

Check the news bro. We're going to know where and when the new Park is going to be built by the end of this year.

Guess I haven't heard the latest. There's been a number of proposals over the years that have just never gone anywhere, so haven't been following any new park news for a while. Cisco Field in Fremont (my hometown) was the last one (quite a few years ago) I got excited about.

I was excited about the original design:








Then they turned it into this... which while it's the same basic idea, is significantly less appealing to me:








EDIT: This whole time I thought I was in the MLB Off-Topic thread for some reason. Sorry for helping the de-rail in The Show forum. My bad.
