Jan 27, 2026 7:26 AMConfidence is actually "medium" or "low". I'm unsure if The Diamond was built on the same footprint as Parker Field. It looks close of you use the grandstand shown in the Sanborn, but Parker Field wasn't fully-installed until after the 1952 Sanborn

Jan 28, 2026 9:51 AMBased on the image I posted in the previous comment, it looks like Parker Field was indeed in almost exactly the same layout as the Diamond, so this picture should be pretty much spot on.
