Before I draft a stadium, I have a few questions. Do we need to pick a stadium in use 1885-86?  Can we cut the stadium we drafted previously and draft another in the next draft?  If we draft a stadium, say in Topeka, do we automatically get the next new stadium built in Topeka?  If our stadium is being remodeled for future use, can we put it on IR and draft another stadium? Can we include stadiums in a trade?

I don't think I ever really addressed that. We probably should have some discussion and come up with a formal rule because I don't think we want owners to be able to switch stadiums every few years. Let's wrap the draft up and then think about that issue.....

We probably need to decide sooner whether we are selecting stadiums from the 1885/86 era or from any other time

BOARD UP TO DATE


****guys, I am going to be out of pocket pretty much all day so I won't be able to update the board after lunch

Missed pick from yesterday
Ted Kennedy - P
Today's pick
Bill Mountjoy - P

I'll go out on a limb and take

American League Park (Washington DC)

Although it opened in 1901 I think it qualifies as a "period stadium" which we probably should be using.....

I counted either 21 or 22 stadiums that started around 1903 or prior...

I count 11 that are 1895 or earlier.

I will officially change my stadium to Robison Park. There is one other park chosen that isn't period accurate.....I will sitemail sooners07 about it and see if he minds changing. I would say any park from 1901 or earlier should be in play.
