History

Origin of the Core Pillar Center

Does it matter?
— Concluding statement of 'Core: Theories on its Origin and Significance', posted in Anaconda-Ponder edition 113, chapter 4

A number of competing theories have developed on the origin of the Core Pillar Center since the Descension of the Core Mechanics. The general consensus has been that a single truth about the origin of the ballpark is less significant than its meaning to current players and Core denizens. Thus, B.A.C.K. archivists have focused on recording all of the theories and experiences people have had regarding the ballpark, and the Core as a whole.

Features

You know how people describe a place as 'feeling alive'? They'll comment on stuff like the trees swaying around in the wind, or kids going crazy in a playground, or just, you know, the daily business of people walking about with some purpose in mind. The Pillars, and I swear to you this is true, the Pillars always feel that way. You could be the only soul on the field—the only sound could be floating debris bumping against the walls—and it still feels like the place is breathing.
— Sara Short, B.A.C.K. archivist

Stadium Usage

Blaseball

The Core Pillar Center is the home of the Core Mechanics.

Non-blaseball uses

Maintenance and renovation of the park is conducted by S.H.A.D.O.W.S., an organisation composed of the shadows of the Core Mechanics. The shadows' main jobs are tracking and mitigating the appearance of floating junk, updating the ballpark site map in accordance with layout changes (see Features), and constructing renovations purchased by the Mechanics fanbase. S.H.A.D.O.W.S. is also responsible for broadcasting optimal transport routes to Blaseball games, and providing disability access.

Accessibility and Transportation

How to get to the Core Pillar Center

The Core Pillar Center can be accessed by tram or zipline. As transport routes change on a regular basis, it is recommended to plan your trip in advance and check timetable forecasts for the day you plan to visit the Core Pillar Center. Additional tram services are provided on game or election days.

Disability access

If you have special mobility requirements, the best way to enter the ballpark is through the tunnels accessible from Entrance A, B and K. Each tunnel has ramps for wheelchair users, as well as charging stations, tailwind generators, and piping systems for mechanical, airborne and waterborne movement.

All signage is available in Braille. Each Braille pad contains a small psycho-electric mechanism that allows reading by users with mechanical limbs or impaired touch.

Listening devices, open-caption video boards, psycho-acoustic detuning devices, anti-peanut umbrellas, gravitational stabilisers, comfort automata, plushies, and other assistive technologies can be accessed at the Help and Safety stalls in quadrants 1, 4, 7, and 11.

Please contact S.H.A.D.O.W.S. if you have questions or require assistance. Boards and brochures outlining the park's accessibility features can be found at all entrance gates.
