The result of the debate was SPEEDIED. Despite the faintest element of truth, this article is yet another one of a series created by an anon user determined to populate the US with mythical sporting venues and teams. Manning 04:46, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

Can't confirm the St. Louis Ballgrounds didn't exist but text is false. Check out St. Louis Browns (NFL) BirgitteSB 01:39, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

• Please note if you picked any city in America and followed the nome with ballpark you find something that might be what they are refering to. However if you look at the contributions of the creator you will understand it is a hoax--BirgitteSB 02:09, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment The text is not entirely false, just confused and with a few names mangled. Read this excerpt from a page about the park that I think he's refering to, and you'll easily get where the text of the page is coming from:

"Old Sportsman's Park and its predecessors [were] first used as such soon after the Civil War and only a few years after the game was introduced in St. Louis by Jere Fruin in 1860. The first ball park there was built by August Solari in 1871 as the Grand Avenue Ball Grounds. ... Its name was changed to Sportsman's Park in 1876 when it became the home of the charter member National League Club known as the Browns." -[1] exceprted for clarification only

Added a redirect for the correct name from Grand Avenue Ball Grounds to Sportsman's Park, and added note of the old name to the latter page. I don't think there's any remaining value in this page. -Harmil 02:10, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The name is subtly wrong and any fix would be a total re-write better done at the correctly named page, anyway -Harmil 01:56, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
