This incredibly elaborate LEGO stadium has escalators, extended netting and bullpen carts
A few years ago, Steven Schapansky created Clutchers Field -- a fascinatingly-detailed stadium made completely out of LEGOs. It had players, fans holding ice cream, a press box and even a Star Wars Night.
But on Thursday, Schapansky announced that Clutchers had undergone vast renovations and, as you can see in this thread, he has completely outdone himself. Seriously, read through the entire thing. Here are a few of the highlights.
A new left-field grandstand with a train stop underneath:
Now there’s a new train stop at the park, incorporating an actual LEGO transit station into the infrastructure. #legobaseball pic.twitter.com/yGtRWPrE64

And once you step off the train into the stadium, you'll be greeted by some great local music:
Turn right out of the train station to lead to the pathway to the new left field entrance. Enjoy some local music along the way! #legobaseball pic.twitter.com/StZ1CzOSEJ

Escalators take fans up to the new seating area, where the view is one of the best in the game.
Not a bad view, right? #legobaseball pic.twitter.com/t3JbnXOIr7

There's also the all-important extended netting:
The safety netting behind home plate has also been changed and extended, compared to the previous version. #legobaseball pic.twitter.com/9H0cpIiHt7

And, in case the Nats are in town, a bullpen cart.
Some @MLB teams have brought back bullpen carts this season, and Clutchers Field is doing the same, offering relief pitchers a speedier trip to the mound. #legobaseball pic.twitter.com/BE2WEHNfpJ

Can Rick Moranis and MLB somehow work together to turn this into a real-life ballpark? We can only hope and pray.
