Lewisohn Stadium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lewisohn Stadium was an amphitheater and athletic facility built on the campus of the City College of New York, and opened in 1915. It was demolished in 1973. Financier and philanthropist Adolph Lewisohn donated the money for construction. The stadium hosted many athletic, musical, and theatrical events and was one of New York's public landmarks.
The stadium was located in the block bounded by Amsterdam and Convent Avenues and 135th and 136th Streets.[1]
