slapshot Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Forbes Field in Pittsburgh was torn down, I think that the University of Pittsburgh put up some buildings or dorms on the old site. There is a plaque where home plate used to be.Braves Field in Boston was torn down, and Boston University built Nickerson Field (home of WUSA Soccer and MLL's Boston Cannons) in its place. Along the wall around the field, right next to two giant dorm buildings, you can see some remnants of Braves Field.

yh Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Forbes Field in Pittsburgh was torn down, I think that the University of Pittsburgh put up some buildings or dorms on the old site. There is a plaque where home plate used to be. It's an academic building with lecture halls, classrooms, faculty offices and a commons area. My sister-in-law is a Poli Sci professor there and her office is located in that building. There is no plaque where home plate used to be, however, because home plate is still there! It is permanently installed into the floor of the building, encased in glass (or lucite) - and yes, there is a plaque as well. I got to see it for myself this past spring. Pretty cool.

winters in buffalo Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo is still sitting there boarded up... 8 years after it closed.
