BallPark change?

Opening night, new league. Just got an email a team in the league changed the ballpark. Never knew this was possible. How many times could you have benefited from a post-autodraft ballpark change? Has anyone heard of this? If allowed, why isn't it obvious within the website??

Was it a live draft?

In a Live Draft league, you choose your ballpark after your draft, before 11:59pm ET on Sunday, the night before the season starts. Up until that time, you may change your ballpark choice as many times as you need to. After that deadline, you may not change your ballpark.

In a private league, the commissioner has the power to change ballparks for any team. When the commissioner navigates to another team's page, there is a line that says "Commissioner tools for this team Edit ballpark | Edit cash | Pick up free agent"

Not a live draft, not a private league. Just an auto league. Never seen a change of parks after draft and after free agency. Notice said “changed by Baseball 365”. Seems you could gain a pretty big advantage if you change park after draft and waiver adjustments. Especially if other teams in the league are allowed to change.

So it sounds like the notice/email you received was from Stratomatic? True? Send a league message to the manager who changed his park. Perhaps he has a simple explanation.

It would be chaos to allow change of ballpark option. I'd stop playing Strato if ball park changes were a general feature. Can someone enlighten me how the game would benefit from such a feature?
Please keep us posted.
thank you.
