Couple of good finds of old League Park. You can see that the infield was where Palace/Crosley's right field corner used to be:

Also, some great shots of the Palace of the Fans. I really like the last one with the soccer field in it.

As you can see, the outfield view was gutted, and what was left of the neighborhood was consumed by parking lots.
It's difficult for an old-school "neighborhood park" to survive in a town with limited mass transit.Last edited by J.R.; 12-21-2008, 04:26 PM.

I haven't been to Cincinnati in over ten years, though- I hope nothing happened to it.

It is still there or it was there several years ago when I went to Cincinnati. It is nestled to the side of a building but there is nothing in the vicinity to alert you that the monument is there. I wish they could do a little more to mark the location of the park but it is highly industrialized in that area now.
