Shortly after the Boston Red Sox opened Fenway Park in 1912, Braves owner James Gaffney purchased the former Allston Golf Club, one mile west of Fenway Park to build a new park for the Braves. The Braves played home games at Fenway Park as construction of the $600,000 Braves Field began on March 20, 1915 and was completed before the end of the 1915 season. The park was constructed approximately 750 tons of steel and 8 million pounds of concrete. Braves Park was the largest stadium built in that era, with a trolley system leading to the park.
