I am planning a room sized basement layout, and I plan to model a 1940's era minor league baseball stadium. One spot that worked well for me is to place stadium inside a 180 degree turn-back curve at the end of a penisula. I am using a 30" minimum radius, so that leaves a little under five feet inside the inner track. The penisula will be in front of the door to the train room, so the stadium will be a sort of focal point as visitors enter the room. Also, this takes the viewer's eyes away from the somewhat un-prototypical turnback curve, and the curved outfield wall will fit nicely along the tracks. I have been to several St. Paul Saints (Northern League) minor league games, and their Midway stadium is located between a mainline on one side, and a yard on the other. Talk about combining two great things to watch!
