Ballpark Renovation

Teams may make several alterations to their current ballparks (relocation and construction of new parks is detailed in another section):

Add Seating:

Additional seats must be purchased in blocks of 100 seats. No more than 5,000 seats may be added during one off-season and no ballpark may exceed 65,000 seats. Construction costs are as follows:

Base Cost: 50 PPT + Cash as follows:

• 35,100-45,000: $40,000 per 100 seats
• 45,100-55,000: $70,000 per 100 seats
• 55,100-65,000: $100,000 per 100 seats

Remember that the bigger the stadium the more maintenance is required. Repeated for your convenience is the information from the Stadium Maintenance section..

• 30-35K seats: maintenance factor of 0.8
• 35-40K seats: maintenance factor of 0.9
• 40-45K seats: maintenance factor of 0.95
• 45-50K seats: maintenance factor of 1
• 50-55K seats: maintenance factor of 1.05
• 55-60K seats: maintenance factor of 1.1
• 60-65K seats: maintenance factor of 1.2

Alter Playing Surface:

Install Grass: Free – Grass costs a base $500,000/year to maintain.
Install Artificial Turf: $5,000,000 – Turf is free to maintain each year.

Build a Roof:

Permanent Roof – Convert your ballpark into a dome for $5,000,000. This renovation cannot be undone once selected and costs a base $500,000/year to maintain.
Retractable Roof – Add a retractable roof for $10,000,000. This renovation cannot be undone once selected and costs a base $1,000,000/year to maintain.

Move Fences: Alter your ballpark’s various hit factors.

The cost is 10 PP and $2,500,000 per factor changed (for unlimited changes to that one factor). Teams may, during the season they are renovating, change multiple factors (up to the 6 total); however, must pay the cost for each factor (so 60 PP + $15,000,000 to completely change your stadium). The boundaries within which you can change each factor are as follows:

• AVG 0.90-1.10 (both L+R)
• Doubles 0.80-1.20
• Triples 0.80-1.20
• Homers 0.80-1.20 (both L+R)

When building a new stadium, are those park factors the same scales? Just trying to make sure as I plan on building a new stadium and want to make sure I get the factors correct.

I'm not sure what you're asking. In game, it is possible to alter all ballpark factors between 0 and 2. The BBA limits those changes in the fashion listed above.

That's what I'm asking... For AVG, the range is .9 to 1.1, doubles .8-1.2 etc..... This was for renovations so I assume it is the standard for new ballparks as well.

Yes.
