Pieces of Old Ballparks incorporated into New Ballparks

[Gooseamania]

i was interested in hearing about, or seeing some pictures of anything from old ballparks that were in any way brough to a new stadium and used at them, pictures would be awesome.

also, since it falls into a similar catagory, i had another question for everyone, if you could take features of any old stadium and incorporate it into a new stadium (after modernizing it of course), what features would you take? for me, i like how braves field's infield grandstand roof was stopped short and the seats in the outfield grandstands were open, very unique, and i think it would look great in a modern day stadium if done correctly.

Does turning county stadium into a little league replica of miller park count?

The Cardinals moved home plate from old Sportsman's Park to Busch Stadium when it opened in 1966. I don't know if they repeated this step when they moved in to the new Busch Stadium in 2005.

Home plate from Crosley was moved to Riverfront Stadium in Cincy. Not sure if it was moved to GAP, or not.

- Home plate from Candlestick was airlifted by the CHP to AT&T (nee Pac Bell) Park.

- A replica of the frieze at Yankee Stadium, though technically it's not the original.

Forbes Field

This photo shows a section of the outfield wall from Forbes Field that was relocated inside a club or bar at old Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. does anyone know if that wall was saved when 3 rivers stadium came down.

The Orioles use the same foul poles in Camden Yards from their old ballpark, Memorial Stadium.

this is just a guess but i am fairly confident i am right, i'm sure the yankees will bring the monuments and stuff from monument park over to the new yankee stadium

The White Sox dug up the entire infield from Comiskey Park and moved the dirt over to the new Comiskey. I cannot call it U.S. Cellular Field.

I heard, and this may be an urban legend, that the reason the White Sox did this was because so many people had their ashes scattered at Old Comisky Park.

the right field grandstand and former ticket office are now used by BU. the grandstand (not sure if its the original, but one exits in the exact location as the original) is there and the former ticket office houses BUPD and a day care center

Rumors are that the original flagpole from Metropolitan Stadium, although never was placed at the Metrodome, will be placed at the new Twins' ballpark.
