Not heard of him before and a quick scan through his website suggests that
he is not aware of LUGNET(tm) as there are no links, no references, and he
does not use a disclaimer (like most of us do) about the site not being
affiliated with LEGO(r), nor does he use trademarks. This suggests he may
not even lurk.

Me too.

GMLTC has done a baseball stadium in the past.

www.gmltc.org then through the gallery to
http://www.gmltc.org/gallery_main_layout3.asp then click on the stadium section

Note that this is a minifig scale stadium and therefore has been massively
selectively compressed from a true scale stadium, it seats a few hundred
instead of tens of thousands.

I don't know of too many other stadiums but they HAVE been done before, just
not lots and lots of times.

Hope that helps.
