Today most cities are building seperate stadiums for their baseball and football teams. Years ago that wasn't the case. I know all the NewYork ballparks, Polo Grounds, Ebbets Field, Old Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium all had football games there. How about some of the other parks. I am especially curious as to whether Wrigley Field and Fenway park had football played there.

http://www.BallparkTour.com is an excellent source for these things -- They list not only the baseball tenants of all ballparks, but football and negro league tenants as well.
Comiskey hosted the CChicago ardinals of the NFL, and Tiger Stadium was the Lions home for many years as well -- Just to name a few.

Anaheim Stadium
Anaheim was a great baseball park, then the Rams ruined it by enclosing the stadium. :grouchy
After Georgialeft So Cal
, the mouse
did manage a major renovation to the Big A and it is a fantastic baseball venue again.

Keep football out of baseball parks and loose the astroturf.
Oh yeah, the LA Coliseum was a baseball park, too that has a little football played there.

Some great baseball parks were torn down, just so football teams could bring in more fans. It seems the whole purpose of the cookie cutter stadiums was to appease the football teams, and oh by the way you can still plat baseball there.Lets get Eddie Basinski elected to the Polish Sports Hall of Fame.

The Washington Redskins played at both Griffith Stadium and at D.C./RFK Stadium. The Nationals will share RFK for the next three years with the D.C. United of Major League Soccer.

Olympic Stadium was used for many sporting events, including football. The Montreal Allouettes played their from 1976 until 1997. The Allouettes have since moved to a smaller cosier downtown stadium. They now sell out every game.

"It was like coming this close to your dreams and then watching them brush past you like a stranger in a crowd. At the time you don't think much of it; you know, we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they're happening. Back then I thought, 'Well, there'll be other days.' I didn't realize that that was the only day." - Moonlight Graham

IIRC-the expansion Toronto Blue Jays moved into Exhibition Stadium in 1977 to share the the park with the Toronto Argonauts. The stadium was built for the CFL team (with it's wider field, as opposed to the NFL) and there was a separate, detached section of seats in left field and the centerfield wall was a moveable section of chain link fencing. I'm going by memory here folks, it's been over 25 years, so if I've forgotten or distorted my facts, don't crucify me."For the Washington Senators, the worst time of the year is the baseball season." Roger Kahn
"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." Rogers Hornsby.
