Ballparks
Ballparks are a feature added to Blaseball in Season 12. Following the Season 11 elections, when Fans elected to "Close! ...the Forbidden Book...", the Election Results noted that ground was broken on the Crabitat. Season 12 introduced a new mechanic allowing Fans of teams to build and customize a Ballpark to the benefit of their teams.
Construction of a Ballpark
Flags/Prefabs
When given the option to build a Ballpark, fans can see the following instructions:
Plant Your Flag
- Spend coins to Contribute to the building & renovating of your team's Ballpark.
- To break ground on your stadium, choose a Ballpark Prefab as a starting point.
- The Ballpark Prefab with the most coins will be chosen for each team.
- All Ballpark construction goes into effect in the Latesiesta, after Day 72.
There are eight prefab options to select from:
- Palmero: Settle in. Why go anywhere when you could stay home?
- Silverada: The sleek lines and open space scream speed.
- Douglas: Keep your loved ones safe with the leader in home field security.
- Hillcrest: A high-energy space you'll want to sink into.
- Twede: Keep things in front of you in this minimalist dream.
- Rodeo: Everything's a long ball in this cozy space-saver.
- Loge: Open air and easy access make this the perfect event space.
- Pine: Pitchers will go absolutely wild over the view.
- Boreal: High ceilings, tons of natural light. You could get lost in your own home.
Fans will select from one of the prefabs, and donate coins towards the construction of their chosen Ballpark style. Funding must be completed during the Midseason.

History
Constructing the Crabitat
At the start of Season 12, Fans discovered that if they clicked on a Black Hole weather icon, they could see the Baltimore Crabs' team page, which featured a new tab. The tab was covered with a red banner, reading "KEEP OUT," and when clicked on, showed the Chesapeake Racetrack and Ballpark, also known as The Crabitat. Fans who had chosen the Crabs as their favorite team saw an additional message that indicated construction would begin after Day 27, on the Earlsiesta.
Following the first Earlsiesta in Season 12, Fans of the Crabs were able to donate to the construction of their Ballpark, in the prefab styles of their choosing. The Fans fully funded the construction project in approximately 15 minutes, and were greeted with notice that the construction would complete after Day 72, the Latesiesta.
However, while funding the Ballpark, bright red messages warned Fans of their choices:
WARNING: DO NOT CONTRIBUTE
DANGER
AUTHORIZED ENTITIES ONLY
CEASE AND DESIST
BREACH IMMINENT
Several days later, during the first Latesiesta, the Crabs descended from the Big Leagues, also bringing with them three new teams: the Atlantis Georgias , Core Mechanics, and Ohio Worms. Additionally, all other teams were able to see their own upcoming Ballparks, and donations for those began in the Season 13 Earlsiesta.
