Updating Park effects Topic

When might HBD update the park effects for New Yankee Stadium? We saw last season that balls really carry there, especially to RF, and it should be 0,0,0,+1,+2. Safeco Field should also be corrected, in reality it is neutral to RF, and one could even argue +1. I'm sure there are others too.

Park Effects take 3 years to really provide a solid average. HBD has only once updated their Park Effects. Don't expect it to happen anytime soon. We're still waiting for an update to Coors that factors in the humidor.

Changing it from +3, +3, +3, +4, +4 to a what they have it now: +3, +2, +3, +4, +4 is not the correct answer.

Over the Past 5 Seasons, Coors as averaged the following Park Factors:

HR: 1.1726

1B: 1.1526

2B: 1.1428

3B: 1.4678

Without having a breakdown of RF/LF HRs, a more accurate rating for Coors post-Humidor would be: +2, +1, +4, +2, +2

Don't get me wrong, still one of the top offensive parks in baseball. However, it doesn't play like a bandbox anymore.
