The 12 remaining Negro League stadiums[edit]

From the nomination form, we have the following:

Today, five decades after the last Negro League team folded, just twelve of the home ball fields of the Negro League teams remain in the United States. Cardines Field, Newport, Rhode Island; Clemens Field, Hannibal, Missouri; Durkee Field (Barrs Field; James P. Small Stadium), Jacksonville, Florida; Engel Stadium, Chattanooga, Tennessee; Grays Field (William Knight Field), Munhall, Pennsylvania; Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, New Jersey; Municipal Stadium, Hagerstown, Maryland; Owen J. Bush Stadium (Perry Stadium; Victory Field), Indianapolis, Indiana; Red Bird Stadium (Jets/Cooper/Franklin County Stadium), Columbus, Ohio; Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, completed in 1910; and Travelers Field (Ray Winder Field), Little Rock, Arkansas remain as the eleven Negro League home stadiums in addition to Hamtramck Stadium. Other than Hamtramck Stadium and Rickwood Field in Alabama, the other Negro League stadiums are all endangered and have an uncertain future. Of the twelve “Extant Resources with Significant Play and Physical Integrity” identified in the Hinchliffe Stadium survey, only Hinchliffe and Rickwood Field served as home fields for major Negro League clubs longer than Hamtramck Stadium. The majority of those twelve venues hosted only barnstorming contests or occasional league games.

Of these, Bush Stadium was demolished in 2012, Travelers Field was demolished in 20012, Grays Field was renovated in 2016 (and so may not retain the historic character), and Cooper Stadium is semi-demolished (but apparently a portion still remains). So there are only 9 or 10 of the referenced 12 remaining. Andrew Jameson (talk) 15:58, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
