Vintage Diagram of Polo Grounds Stadium for New York Giants Fans
The page from the 1946 Official Baseball sports publication features a diagram of Polo Grounds Stadium, home to the New York Giants. The engraving outlines the layout of the stadium, illustrating its unique horseshoe shape. The diagram highlights key dimensions, including the distance to the outfield walls: 280 feet down the left field line, 390 feet to center field, and 260 feet to the right field line. The marked sections suggest seating arrangements for spectators, with terraces in the outfield and areas for various audience capacities. Polo Grounds, located in Upper Manhattan, served as a significant venue for both baseball and football, hosting the Giants in Major League Baseball before transitioning to the New York Mets.
