Does anyone know anything about how the background of the #144 card was originally created? A close examination looks, to me, like there is blue sky on the right and left sides of the bleacher wall beyond the crude pavillions, but oddly features steps built right into the sky. There is, unexplainably, a huge yellow background in the center connecting both skies.

I'm mainly interested in what the artist may have had in mind, along with what the original artwork may have looked like in that background. I think there may be a cool backstory related to that. Thanks for any insight.
