Tengen Stadium dimensions

[TβG]

if it's all official, are you guys going to post pics?  with the final dimensions?  this is great research guys.

Here's as official as I'm going to get...

[TβG]

and i hope that the distance from the rubber to the plate was measured FROM THE BACK OF THE 6"-WIDE RUBBER TO THE POINT OF HOMEPLATE (THAT IS 17 INCHES FROM THE FRONT OF THE PLATE TO THE POINT--BACK--OF THE PLATE) 


otherwise the measurements will have to be redone.

[fightonusc]

I did that, dolt.

[BDawk]

math is cool

[TbT]

but what about the measurements to the lights and crap like that?

[Shooty]

I haven't read this thread

[TbT]

im giving him a bad time.

This should be a show on the Discovery channel.
great thread

[fightonusc]

I actually think we could work out the dimensions of the bleachers if we figured out how tall each row of seats is (factoring in depth back from the seats, etc.). I need to get back to the Fantasy RBI League, though, so this research will have to be tabled temporarily.

A 3D tour video would be great, thanks.

this is truely phenominal stuff.

1 quick question, and a guess for an answer would suffice.  assuming the tengen field had dimensions closer to what a real MLB park has.....for example 350 lines, 375 alleys, 400 center...what would be the home runs then?......maybe just over the bleachers/out of the stadium almost all the way around?

the one thing ive never liked about tengen field is the phone booth atmosphere.

This thread might be the best thread in the history of dee-nee.

[TbT]

i believe its 2nd tothe co-worker dave thread...but its close to the best.

This is a good thread, but it pales in comparison to the work that Nightwulf has discovered, no offense

[TβG]

i do like this thread, and despite my latest outburst, manfredi, my mancrush... you have done excellent work.

and the stadium capacity would be a cool thing to eventually figure out, once you decide how to scale the measurements in the stands.

someone actually could be able to do a 3d mockup of this once all the measurements are finalized. they would win the geek of the month award.  it would be cool... i'd like to see that.  but that someone wouldn'tbe me.

In case you were wondering about the RBI 2/3 stadium...

There's a couple things weird about it. First off, the pitching rubber is actually more like 64 feet from the plate, since it is exactly between home and 2nd, instead of slightly toward home plate.

Second, in RBI 2/3, home run distances are given, which, unlike the dimensions I have calculated from the stadium image itself, are more in line with a real-life stadium. The distances marked on the walls are the distance from the back of home plate to the base of the wall (based on the 90 feet between bases), not the distance of a home run that would actually clear the wall, but even so, the claimed length of a home run that just barely clears the corner wall is usually around 310 feet, while a home run that should easily clear the "real" wall would only need to be about 275. Similarly, one that just clears in center is around 380-390 feet, but it would only take 360 or so if you go by the picture.

I understand the ned for a "batter's eye"  but it doesn't need to be that big, they must be losing tons of revenue.  And doesn't having a flourescent green batter's eye kind of defeat the purpose?

I think the rubber is fine.  The bases are actually 85.5 feet apart.

Well now there's an idea. Then the home run distances are even shorter! :-P
