You missed Cleveland Municipal Stadium. It was a Multi-Purpose for both the Browns and Indians.
Nice video there
Thanks a lot!
Fenway Park has hosted a lot of football games since its opening in 1912.
Yeah I should have included Fenway, thanks for mentioning it!
Dude, you could have used a few more Takes for some of the key points.
Noted thanks for the feedback
Municipal Stadia did not emerge in UK in part due to the ownership model
For the most part these grounds were private owned rather than the local municipality so a football club had no requirement to cater for other sports and seldom shared with other footie teams
Its one of the reasons London has a huge number of stadiums
There was multi sports arenas Sheffield hosted cricket and football
Bradford hosted footie and rugby and had a speedway track
The old Wembley stadium had a greyhound race track around it
In Australia cricket stadia hosted Aussie Rules but that sport used the same field , the rugby codes had their own rectangular fields but they did play games in cricket ovals
To this day they away from the east cost states where the rugby codes have big arenas if the play big games of rugby in Melbourne or Perth they have to play in the big oval arenas such as the gigantic MCG as the rectangular venues are not nearly large enough
Yeah that makes sense regarding the ownership structure! Thanks a lot for the insight!
