2006 Ballpark Popularity - full list posted

[bernieh]

I've gathered some interesting ballpark-related data from the 2006 game; I'll be posting a breakdown of all 30 stadiums and what percentage of the time each was chosen by Strat-O-Matic Online managers.

Anyone dare to try to guess the Top 5 most popular ballparks?

[b:447d03cd57]Edit Tue 2/13[/b:447d03cd57]:

Here's the Top 5 data.

[code:1:447d03cd57]NAME | SI_L | SI_R | HR_L | HR_R | PCT
Petco Park | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 10.0%
Minute Maid Field | 3 | 11 | 3 | 16 | 9.3%
US Cellular Field | 6 | 6 | 18 | 18 | 6.9%
PNC Park | 16 | 10 | 10 | 4 | 5.4%
Coors Field | 19 | 19 | 15 | 15 | 5.1%

As of this posting, nobody identified the Top 5 correctly, much less in the correct order, but some were VERY close.

Inspired by marcus wilby's guess, we're turning this into a quickie contest: the first person to guess the Bottom 5 (least used) ballparks, IN ANY ORDER, wins 1 free team credit to the 2007 game. Only one person may win, and each person gets one guess.

I'll be posting the complete list of the 30 ballparks and their popularity either Wednesday or Thursday (I may not be available Wednesday), so make your guesses!

Here's the full list. Turns out that no one guessed the Bottom 5 completely right - granted it was a very tough task since the Bottom 11 were all within 1 percent of each other - but J-Pav came REALLY close, guessing 4 out of the 5 correctly. For that, he earns a hearty "good job" from me. ;)
