(now RFK) Stadium.

Comments

  • There are still points of reference from the modern structures to the main aerial shots of the field. The houses in the south of the lot are the same that were behind the right field fence in the pictures of the stadium. The left field bleachers were along 5th St NW, and there was a large parking lot where the front plaza and parking lot are on the west side of the lot. The "H" shaped School of Medicine is also visible in the main picture, behind the third base grandstands.
