War Memorial Stadium... "The Rockpile" Centerfield Entrance by Bob Gaver located in Buffalo New York Former home of the Buffalo Bisons! |
Though it was built in 1937, War Memorial Stadium remained solely as a football stadium
until its later years. It wasn�t until 1961... 25 years later after its
post-construction debut, that the Rockpile hosted its first baseball game. Bisons�
baseball already had a full time home at Offerman Stadium which it had been
playing in since 1924 and which they planned to play in for as long as the stadium
would continue to stand. Unfortunately for the Bisons, the city government
wasn't joining in with that program, and had other plans for the property. |
