Nice work!

I remember years ago, the LEGO club(1) had a contest to build a "sports
stadium". I'm actually just rereading the announcement now in an old copy
of 'Design News Innovations'. Brings back a lot of memories, as I think I
actually entered that one. The contest closed on May 4, 1979. I haven't
heard from them yet, so I guess I didn't win. :(
I'm also now thinking that I might like to do a baseball field myself.
Using my adult collection of course. I'm thinking that Tiger Stadium would
be a good one to start with. I miss being able to see them actually play
there, so maybe bringing it alive again in LEGO would be fun. I'll have to
give that some thought.
All the best,
Allan B.
(1) I believe the full name back then was the 'LEGO Junior Designers Club'
