Minigiant,
I like your field quite a bit! Looks clean and streamlined.
I do agree with Saebelsultan, though.
1. I think the coffins and skulls throw off the "professional sports teams" look.
2. I also think that the Reserves boxes should be closest to the centre of the field and not near the end zone. I'll add a picture of what I mean. Just a sec. There, that is off of the FF Fields Facebook page. The dugouts are in the style I am thinking of.

Also, since you asked for ideas...

I'm not sure if you know about their latest campaign but here is an example of their latest field with all the trimmings as "voted" for by the community.

Perhaps it might give you some ideas?

Cheers,

1. Why do the coffins throw off the "professional sports team" looks? One would think that any BB-style dugout would through those glasses.
2. Why shall the reserves box necessarily be near the centre line?

Hey theghr,

Hmm... my thinking goes something like this:

1. The coffins look like the wrong theme in this case. Maybe more Undead, Vampire or Necromantic styled teams than a Dwarf Stadium. Do you know what I mean? Minigiant said that this was about his main team, which are dwarves, and I guess I don't see red satin lined coffins as very "dwarfy"... way too soft and whatnot. That may just be me though.

2. Maybe it just feels more natural to me to have the players come running on to the centre of the field, in my own mind's eye anyway. Your mileage may vary, as they say.

If it matters at all, one of my own fields done by Alex does have coffins. Check it out:

The idea has been played around a bit and settled on this

If you cannot stall out for an 8 turn drive to score with dwarves then you need to go and play canasta with your dad..if you can find him.
