2062 - Rockville/Cape Fear spends on a new ballpark!

[woods]

If my calculations are correct, I have 226 PPT and some change at my disposal (my current balance + half of previous GM's PPT carried over).

I would like to use the Team Relocation reward to move the team.

I qualify for 3 of the 6 criteria (FI 60 or less, five consecutive losing seasons, and attendance less than 65% of stadium capacity in both the previous two seasons), which means I qualify for double the Ballpark Construction reward.

So we're building a new ballpark!

- - - -

Ballpark Name: Blackwater Field

Location: Wilmington, North Carolina

Capacity: 45,000

Stadium type: Open ballpark

Surface: Grass

Dimensions:

Left Line 324, 6 ft
Left Field 346, 6 ft
Left Center 385, 10 ft
Center Field 417, 14 ft
Right Center 385, 14 ft
Right Field 351, 14 ft
Right Line 328, 14 ft

Park factors:

AVG LHB .945
AVG RHB 1.080
Doubles .920
Triples .935
Home Runs LHB .955
Home Runs RHB 1.080

I'll throw in an additional 100 PPT to offset construction costs by $10M.

So, here's the accounting:

Base cost: 100 PPT + $50M cash
Upgrade capacity to 45,000: +$4M
PPT offset brings total cost to: 200 PPT + $44M

Bonus funds should cover most of the cost, so please take from there first, and then take any remaining amount from in-game. (thanks Jim for being loaded, lol)

Cool. You'll need the new park factors, too. Dimenisions don't do it.

Do I get to pick those, too? If so, please give me:

AVG LHB .945
AVG RHB 1.080
Doubles .920
Triples .935
Home Runs LHB .955
Home Runs RHB 1.080

I'm kind of going for a less extreme Sydney.

I think you mean $4.5M remaining, right?

($44M - $39.5M = $4.5M)

The team used to be the Carolina Kraken, so this represents a return to that part of the world.

yeah, ok, Mr Mathematician it appears that you're right.

And because my Fan Interest is no longer 60 or less, here is a screenshot as proof that it WAS 60 at the time of this request. In case that comes into question.
