Ballpark Database

I just found (was shown) Seamheads' Ballpark Database. Amazing.

It includes each park's location, first game, last game, number of seasons, games, latatude, longitude and altitude, park dimensions, capacity, park factors and occasional added info, Google sat view and links to Historic Aerials view.

Beautiful.

Ballparks Database was created by Kevin Johnson. Internet portion designed by Dan Hirsch, creator of TheBaseballGauge.com.

You can download the DB as an Access file.

Thank you!

New Marlins Ballpark

"February 15, 2011- The Florida Marlins are warming up for the start of baseball season with two historic milestones Tuesday. The new Marlins Ballpark had its first seat installed followed by the first batting practice inside the stadium.
"... nineteen months into construction and officials are proudly boasting the project remains on-time and on-budget."
