Braves field in Boston. I heard that a small part of it is still there.

Quote:
"After the Braves moved to Milwaukee just prior to the 1953 season, the stadium was sold to Boston University. The old ballpark was used as-is until 1955, when the university reconfigured the stands, demolishing all but the pavilion grandstand along the right field line, which was retained as the core of a football, soccer, field hockey and track-and-field stadium. The stadium was initially called Boston University Field and was later renamed Nickerson Field. Aside from the pavilion, parts of the ballpark retained included Gaffney's original outer wall; and the ticket office, which was converted to the university police station. The rest of the stadium property was replaced by dormitories. Of the various demolished Jewel Box ballparks, Braves Field probably has the largest proportion of visible remnants still standing."

Thank you for the information. I will try to check it out now that it's above 50 in Boston. |

For me it is the Polo Grounds and if you really want to get old I would say the Huntington Ave Grounds that the Red Sox played in from 1901 up until 1911
