Default If you build it, they will come!

I have seen no other prop in the game that excites and inspires like the stadium. Just think, you're in a major league with outstanding coaches and you invite people to come and watch. Oh yeah, they have seen all the sites of various leagues and wondered, where's yours?

Another scenario would be that you told the local media outlets of the great following in your area for miniature football. You tell them to check out various sites. Somehow they stumble upon a site that has miniature realistic stadiums and start thinking, "Okay, we are going to go cover the game with all the trimmings of the modern era including stadiums". They come by and see it is not exactly what they had pictured.

I just had two guys call and tell me that horror story. They wanted to put on a great front but did not have the necessary pieces to close the deal! If you build it, or have it built, they will come! I have no question that with the right marketing scheme, you can get all the media attention you want for your league.

Default I keep looking at these stadiums...

And thinking, if I go purchase a lot of foam Poster board, I might have something of a stadium, not sure what stadium look though. but, I think I could do better than the Miggle stadium with a little more detail. Remember Reg, I called you and told you back when I used have 18 Teams as a 18 year old, I built my first stadium with Sheet Rock lol.

Default A question for Reg Rutledge

I see you made Yankee Stadium & Wrigley Field, which are both tremendous stadiums. I'm not sure if you're a baseball fan, but I would love to see "miniature baseball" be as popular as miniature football. Have you ever given thought about creating baseball figures for a miniature baseball game? Of course, I know your time is limited these days, but if anybody you could do it I know it would be you

Default It has been done

I take my figures all the time and turn them into other type of figures. It is easily done.

I've done Hockey players for people, baseball players for people, created referees, and even band members.

So yes, it can be done and it has been done. The versatility is unlimited. Maybe when I get some time, I'll show you a custom pose or two.

I just sent a mother 2 sons in Hockey gear last week. And I have done similar things with baseball.

Yeah, I see it now, a highly detailed Ebbets Field built around the Miggle electric baseball game. The Miggle electric baseball game is lame, but it would look really sweet as Ebbets Field.

Oh, if I had the extra money right now for that!
