League Park (Akron) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia League Park Location Akron, Ohio Coordinates 41°4′30″N 81°29′58″WCoordinates: 41°4′30″N 81°29′58″W Owner Akron, Ohio Operator Akron Pros Capacity 5,000 (American football andBaseball) Surface Grass Opened May 4, 1906 Tenants Akron Indians (OL) (1916-1919)Akron Pros/Indians (NFL) (1920-1926)Akron Black Tyrites (NNL II) (1933)[1]Akron Yankees (MAL) (1935-1941) League Park refers to two former American football and baseball stadiums located in Akron, Ohio. The original League Park was located at the corner of Carroll St. and Beaver St.; the newer stadium was on Lakeshore Blvd. between W. Long St. and W. Crosier St.[1] Contents [hide] 1Tenants 2Capacity 3Characteristics 4References 5External links Tenants[edit] The stadiums were home to the Akron Pros of the National Football League from 1916 to 1926. In 1933, the Akron Black Tyrites, a Negro league baseball team, played their home games here.[1] It also hosted the Akron Yankees of the Middle Atlantic League, as well as various other minor league baseball team in Akron. Capacity[edit] The later stadium had a capacity of 5,000 spectators. Characteristics[edit] The second League Park was built on land that had a sharp drop-off directly behind the left field fence. This led to the left field wall slanting backwards at such an angle that outfielders could easily run up the wall, using it as a ramp, and catch fly balls that would have otherwise left the park. Since balls hit to left could literally roll up and over the fence, a rule was necessary declaring such hits a ground-rule double.[1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 The first League Park at the corner of Carroll and Beaver is just over the freeway from where Infocision stadium is now. At this point, looking at Google Earth, there seems to be like a warehouse operation there now. The second League Park seems to be near where Summit Lake Park is now. Not sure depending on the side of the street it was on, there seems to be just an open field as part of the park....or if on the other side of the street, it looks like apartments....likely public housing.

Tour2ma Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Interesting... Cleveland had a "League Park" as well. It was the original home of the Indians for decades prior to the construction of old muni. Western Reserve played many of its big-time college football games at League Park... Western Reserve and Case Tech often showcased their annual Thanksgiving Day rivalry game against one another,[6] as well as playing other Big Four Conference games against John Carroll and Baldwin-Wallace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_Park Dad and Grandpa told stories about going to the Thanksgiving Day games at League Park and later at old Muni. In our trophy case at Case Tech we had an old football commemorating a 6-0 win over Ohio State in the early 1900's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Big Four, I assume that Western Reserve and Case were, at the time, separate schools...and accounted for two of the 4? I wonder if there is a "Big Four" today. Of course, they would actually be a "little four" as they play D-III ball. In Cuyahoga Co. you still have CWRU, B-W, and John Carroll with D-III programs. I am trying to think if there is another....but I don't believe there is. Not in football. There is Ursuline...who competes only in women's sports. You would have to go out of county to include like Oberlin or Hiram to make up the Big/Little 4. So, I think that grouping has gone by the wayside.

Tour2ma Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Correct... Case and Reserve merged their football programs in '70; Basketball and other programs in '72. Of course I am using the term "programs" loosely... No other college football programs I can think of in the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other college football programs I can think of in the county. Case has a fair little program for their level. (nothing of course like Mt. Union) In fact, I went to see one of their games a few years back. My daughter was a cheerleader for Trinity Univ. (in San Antonio)....and they came here to play Case. They did not however, bring their cheerleaders with them. So, while we went to the game to see the team she cheered for, she had to stay in Texas. Case won the game by the way.

That may be Old Municipal Stadium.....or perhaps Old Muni is out in Lake Erie, remnants being used to create a man made reef. ....at least that is what Wiki says: Cleveland Stadium was demolished in 1996 to make way for FirstEnergy Stadium, which opened in 1999. Much of the debris from the demolition was placed in Lake Erie to create an artificial reef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HAVE been around that area......it is pretty much Ghetto...or was... when I lived on the east side of Cleveland. (but I did not live in that area: Shaker Square) But, I will say, yes...it is likely worth a trip up around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
