Ballpark atlas · current + historical
Venues
Every stadium should be its own data room: current homes, city histories, replacement chains, game counts, attendance, run environment, and venue watch notes.
Data stack
Local DB first
Current schedules come from `mlb_games`; historical usage comes from Lahman `bb_parks` + `bb_home_games`; images are already cached locally from Wikimedia Commons. Visitor traffic stays DB/cache-only.
Lease/status honesty
Tracked, not guessed
Where lease or relocation context is not cached yet, the page says so. That gives us a clean slot for county leases, extension deadlines, public funding votes, and replacement proposals without fake precision.
Next depth
Ballpark factors
Per-venue pages already calculate BPF/PPF, average runs, day/night split, team usage, attendance peaks, and predecessor/successor chains where the data exists.
