Marlins Ballpark

Has anyone made a PBP picture for Marlins Ballpark? Haven't been able to find one.

I found a couple of artist done digital pictures (day and night) of the park. They would work but I saw no catcher's view to use. Also the seats were all empty and there were no ballplayers on the field either.

Well I this one: http://www.ballparksofbaseball.com/future/images/marlinsrend09950.jpg could work rather nicely, but I just don't know how to make it work with the game.

I did some more looking last night and found one that might work. Again it was just a digital mock up, but it has the players on the field and people in the seats.

As far as using it in the game you would have to add a line to the INPUT folder and look for the "NewGamesStadium.csv" spreadsheet and edit it by adding a 2012 entry to move the team to the new stadium. But what would be easier is to just go into Commissioner Mode and give yourself the money to build a new stadium. That way you can change the outfield distances and the ground surface and other stuff.

I'm working on it I have gotten it into the game using Commissioner mode and renamed it to Miami Stadium. I still have to set up the bases and foul lines.

Here is what to do to get it in your game.

Unzip this file and place it in your PBP folder with your other stadium JPG images.

Then choose the Florida Marlins home page.

That's it you're ready to go.
