Baltimore's Memorial Stadium formerly stood on 33rd Street on an
oversized block (officially designated as Venable Park, a former city
park from the 1920s). Two different stadiums were located here, a 1922
version known as "Baltimore Stadium", or "Municipal Stadium", or
sometimes 'Venable Stadium', and, for a time, "Babe Ruth Stadium" in
reference to the then-recently deceased Baltimore native. The rebuilt
multi-sport stadium, when reconstruction (expansion to an upper deck)
was completed in the summer of 1954, would become known as "Memorial
Stadium". The stadium was also known as "The Old Gray Lady of 33rd
Street", and also, for Colts games, as "The World's Largest Outdoor
Insane Asylum."
This lot contains an authentic brick from Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. A COA from the Maryland Stadium Authority is also included.
