<![CDATA[Stadiums]]>We talk about legends all the time that we want to get in the game. Missing legends like Cobb, Bonds, and DiMaggio usually come down to money. BUT why are we missing classic stadiums like Tiger, Three Rivers, Ebbets Field, the Astrodome, Cleveland Municipal Stadium, and Olympic Stadium? Are the rights that expensive? Just seems dumb to be doing these Alan Trammel moments in Comerica Park. There aren’t that many stadiums missing.

Ebbets and Tiger Stadium are the only true missing stadiums. Everything else you mentioned is a cookie cutter that Shea mimics.

Here we go again. This is false. NIL isn’t just for people.

I'd love to see way more historical content in the game - stadiums, historical rosters, etc. It's super sad that we can't have a game that has a lot of historical content in it - accurate representations of baseball teams and locations.

But, that's never gonna earn them any money, so doesn't seem possible.

If the details of the structure is publicly accessible, then it is fair game.

Your second point though is full on target. Stadium Creator was intended to be that source but SDS deliberately blew it. Not because of any concerns over copyright violations, but because they didn't want what they considered competition.

There were hundreds of veteran stadium designers in the community who were at the ready to use SC to create virtual stadiums, but SDS stymied us.

We all thought the ballpark creator was the trade off, because there are a lot of talented ballpark creators out there. But again, they completely abandoned improving that over the last 3 years other than adding dinosaurs and UFOs.

Would especially love to see the Cleveland one. I do remember The Vet, Tiger, & The Astrodome being in the Triple Play series. I don't know how it could be a rights issue, when most or all you mentioned have been torn down many years ago.
As a Met fan, I don't need old Florida or Atlanta, tbh.
