Yes, multiple "different" parks from the same franchise can be taken.  Renamed parks - only taken once

Is WhatIfSports Stadium eligible? 
What about stadiums that two different franchises used (Mets and Yankess played in Shea, Angels and Dodgers played in Dodger) I assume they can only be selected once

No to WhatifSports Stadium
And correct, only one stadium occurrence (regardless of how many teams used it).

What about renovated stadiums that share the same name (mostly) but differ in dimensions, effects, and park factor?

90 mil question - I may be a little slow on this but want to check the same season/team combination for twisted players rule.  Does this mean I can, as an example, use the 1919 Chicago cubs (2 players) and the 1919 Pittsburgh Pirates (2 players) - same season but different teams - assuming of course one player from each team is a twist of my main team?

Can you give me an example?  Usually, different dimensions/effects result in a different name.

Let me make sure I understand the question. 

You selected a team that has a player who can be twisted to the 1919 Cubs.  You have a different player who can be twisted to the 1919 Pirates.  You want to know if you can use the 1919 Cub twisted player (+ teammate) and the 1919 Pirates twisted player (+ teammate).  Is this correct?

Since the rule states "cannot use the same season/team combination for any two twisted players", this is legal, since the 1919 Cubs and 1919 Pirates are clearly different season/team combinations.

Yes you understand correctly - I was just worried that "season/team" might have meant season or team when it means season AND team.  I was concerned if I twisted a player to a 1919 version of him then 1919 was out for further twisting even on a different team.  Obviously that is not the case.  Thank you.

I'm not sure if this is what was intended, but I wasn't sure whether you would allow Yankee Stadium (I) and (II) to both be drafted, or would they be considered the same stadium.

This used to come up in real life. Before new Yankee Stadium was built, the old one was commonly called the third oldest stadium in the majors. I thought that was wrong, the renovations in the 70s were so substantial to constitute a new stadium, and plenty of other stadiums were (and are) older than the mid-70s Yankee Stadium.

That was the one.

I consider Yankee I and Yankee II different since the park effects are different.

This "Dynamic pricing" change could make drafting for the 2016 WISC a real pita.

Depends on how they implement it.  I just posted a suggestion on their comments thread.
