I stand corrected---had mentioned to JE that the main level bathrooms would close off the concourse to LF and RF----not even close. This is the main level bathroom on the RF side.

I know this is from the extension, but the areas under the ramps on the main level would be walled off or fenced off?

Took the spittoons out of the refeshment bar and put them on the sidwalk and in the dugouts.

Was just looking over my opening day program reprint and it says that all the refreshment stands were made of "solid oak", and "a double row of seats, with a drawer for each makes up the press stand at the front of the mezzanine deck." Also, if your looking for authentic items to have at refreshment stands and other areas of the park, the program has ads for "Blackjack chewing gum", "Between the Acts mild havana blend little cigars", "pink wrapper sweet chocolate bars, washington taffy and other candy specialties made by Huyler's", "Muriel cigars", "Flor De Melba cigars - on sale at all stands on the grounds", "Melachrino cigarettes", and "Otto Stahl's Frankfurters." All of these items are mentioned as being sold in the stadium and could probably add to the period authenticity of the model.

I think it really would have closed off the concourse. Looking at the ground level blueprint, some of the line are significantly heavier than others. Here I've copied a heavy line section to place it closer to a thin line to show the difference:Originally Posted by bkhockey3
I believe the heavy lines represent interior walls and the thinner lines are just the overhead girders, so the interior walls defining that side of the concourse would be here in red, with the doors in blue (interestingly, it looks like the door to what I'm guessing is a bathroom could be a strange sort of double door, with one side opening in and the other side opening out):
If that is correct, the inside wall of the concourse should actually be here on your view:
On the club entrance stairwell, if you mean these lines highlighted in red, I don't think that's decoration; just the steps seen from the side:
That's how I see it at least, but I've been wrong in this thread before!

Take that FLIP down from that post before it has a chance to infect the Free World!!! LOL!!Probably just a bp pic of the Babe. SI just being lazy.
Babe on OD 1923 (from the pics with the Kelly kid in the NYY uni):
Flipped:
Here is the video of Ruth's 1923 OD HR to which Gehrig27 is referring. The stands are jammed:

RYS to NYS: "Obi-Lonn never told you what happened to your father."
NYS: "He told me enough. He told me you killed him - in the 1970s!!"
RYS: "No, I am your father..."
NYS: "No, it's not true, that's impossible!!!!"
RYS: "Look beyond my respirator pods and my upper crown; you know it to be true!
Good point! But I just wanted bk to have an image of Ruth on OD 1923 standing upright (which would give the best sense of relative scale) with his bat over his left shoulder. And the bat could be adjusted from the choked-up to a normal position.
I have lots of old elevator images to share, and I will do scans of the 1923 OD program, as Gehrig27 has reminded me of all the ads in there that represent products sold within the Stadium.
Here are the scans from the OD 1923 program that show ads for products that might have been sold in YS:

Just wanted to post this before I head out: Think I have walls on wrong columns--should be on next ones, that's why main level bathrooms don't close off concourse.
Registered User
Yup, moving them to there should fix it. Except for the 2 bays to the left of the box seat tunnel and one bay to the right of it, where the walls are set back to make room for the ground level refreshment stand.

Sorry----all was able to do this weekend was fix the main level concourse walls and make the cutout for the refreshment stands. Will make them oak, but oak is a light wood and would they have painted them or painted them? Want to put in all the structural walls and doors on all the levels. Only have the LD level blueprint, so if someone can post or repost other levels it would be huge help--don't necessarily have to be able to read what each room is but want to have the walls in. Will use all the images you've posted for the product labels for the refreshment stand items.

Main Level refreshment stands in and this is an oak surface.

please?

Soup---it's frustrating for me to have a model so intense with great detail and not be able to render it all------currently when I turn on alot of the layers, the computer crashes, but will try to get something to show.
sometimes it's nice to see the stadium like it's never seen.

Tried to render half the stadium interior and crashed--here's proof it's all there.

Just realized rhis cannot be a dumb waiter cause it can't extend to either level above or below.
Since am not sure of some of the concourse wall structures and shapes of some RF bathrooms, am thinking of starting to rebuild the landscape file starting tonight or tomorrow. Have found recently, even on days where I have lots of time, alot of time is wasted cause I'm not sure of exactly what something may look like---example: the refreshment stands. While the color issues are still with us, am hoping to get the final seat color from YS1923. While I'm getting the landscape done, maybe more unresolved things will show up in the form of reference.

May have computer powerful enough to handle this bad boy in a couple of weeks! Bear with me! May have final seat color today!

someone mentioned that the cars were too big-----the center car is positioned directly in front of wall. If anyone can figure approximate reduction percentage it would be greatly appreciated.

Probably gonna start with 8GB RAM and see if everything including rivets will render. Then try animation 30 frames per second. If not can go up to 16GB. We'll know in a few weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
