Parks: Physical Characteristics
The "Physical" tab enables you to create and modify the physical
characteristics of a park.
You can change the following physical attributes of a park:
-
The cover -- that is, whether the
stadium is Outdoor, a Dome, or Both (if it has a retractable
roof)
-
The surface: Grass or artificial
Turf
-
The amount of foul ground: Small,
Normal, or Large
-
The distance and height of the outfield
fence at seven locations: down the left and right field foul
lines; behind the left, center and right fielders; and in the gaps
in left and right
NOTE: DMB divides the outfield
evenly and determines distances and fence heights at these
equidistant points. Real-life dimensions are not always measured in
this manner. For example, some real parks post gap dimensions at
well-known nooks like the triangle in Fenway Park. Those locations
are not necessarily at points evenly distributed around the
outfield and may differ from the ones used by DMB.
