We're gonna say Cincinnati, based solely on the building in the background.
Will post a pic later tonight...

My first thought was Cincinnati as well. Check out the building on the far right of this late 30s shot and compare it to the building above ...

Klein's Beer - Absolutely Pure was the slogan of the FG Klein Co. of Burlington, WI. Not sure that helps much but it is on the outfield wall. What I read says their sales "agency" was located in Chicago.

Thanks guys! I will investigate Cincinnati as I do see the resemblance. Jeff, I will also check out the Klein's beer sign to see if anything in Chicago or Wisconsin might be a match if Cincinnati does not pan out. I really appreciate all the help.

I don't know the history of the evolution of the Palace of the Fans in Cincinnati but here are the two side by side. Sure looks very similar but before they put the upper deck in on the right. The colums of the first base side structure look the same.

Here is Palace of the Fans in Cincinnati and here are the two side by side. Sure looks very similar but Palace of the Fans opened in 1902 and had corinthian columns like the postcard and an upper deck.
The stadium prior to that was League Park in Cincinnati. Looks like this might be the one. 1884-1901. League park burned down which then was replaced by the ornate Palace of the Fans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_...8Cincinnati%29
