pages 1 & 2 updated through Kittle/Forster

a reminder that the only rules on stadiums are that they are
1.) exclusive to the team who drafts it
2.) must have been used in the 1980s according to the stadium list


STADIUM LIST & BALLPARK EFFECTS
Checking out the stadium list. I noticed that Shea Stadium is only on here when the Yanks used it during the 70s. It got me curious and I went through to verify that there are 24 stadiums available for the 80s. I counted 23. I hope I'm mistaken, and I frequently am, but can we verify on this?

For reasons that defy logic, WIS only makes available on the main "Team Center" the ballparks that are used in "Open Leagues." However, Theme Leagues have a whole bunch of other stadiums available, including Shea (Mets), and there are well more than 24 available stadiums - since some have two (i.e. Minnesota).

To see those prior to entering this team in a Theme League, if you have any teams in a Theme League, go to that team and then look on the menu for ballpark effects.

Thats weird. Shea obviously counts. Skydome (Rogers) should probably count. Jack Murphy should count but for some reason doesn't appear on the list. There have to be more, too.
