Noes Field (Augusta, ME) Topic

Does anybody know if Noes Field for the Augusta franchise is based off of a real stadium? I can't find any information on it anywhere

Don't know about that one, but I do know that there are some completely fictitious ballparks in HBD, as well as some questionable ones.

For instance, "Welch Park" in Hartford, CT is actually located in a suburb (Windsor), and the only ball fields there is a set of Little League and softball fields.

Complete list of fictional parks:
Madison
Jackson-- Boon Stadium is named after HBD developer Kyle Boon.
Fargo
Cheyenne
Huntington-- Eble Park appears to be a rec facility in suburban Milwaukee.
Burlington
Augusta--Noes Field may or may not be some kind of programmer in-joke.

Iowa City's Principal Park is actually in Des Moines, about two hours away.

Ah, looks like Noes Field is based off of Hadlock Field in Portland, ME circa 1995-1997. Same dimensions and number of seats at that point.

Something I have been wondering for a long time: why not add more parks? There are several new parks in the minors since HBD started. I live 20 miles from a nice, new AA park, but the closest HBD park is about 150 miles away. I might actually add another team to play at my 'home' field. I bet others would too.

Then consider how many might add teams if they could play in the historic parks available in the sim game. The info is already in the database, how hard could it be to add those in HBD? I know they are happy with their little cash cow bringing in $ without them doing any work, but this seems like such an easy change that could possibly add more $ to the equation and perhaps postpone the death of this game.
