the article makes it sound as if the same stadium was used from 1880 to 1966, when in fact there are at least 2 and probably 3 stadiums on the site. The 1880 stadium (1) was used by the Cardinals (Browns in the 19th century). In 1902 a new wood stadium (2) was built by the AL Browns then in 1909 a steel stadium (3?) was built by the Browns Smith03 02:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

The various incarnations of the structure sat on the same site and generally used the same name, so many sources tend to treat them as one. Wahkeenah 06:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smallest market?

IP address asserts Boston a smaller market during 1902-1952. Recommend looking at two factors: (1) Populations of each city for 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940, 1950; and (2) high watermarks of combined attendance. Arguably original research. But it would give us an idea of whether either statement might have the ring of truth to it. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 17:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
