Playoff Success History
-
The first League Park at the corner of Carroll and Beaver is just over the freeway from where Infocision stadium is now. At this point, looking at Google Earth, there seems to be like a warehouse operation there now.
The second League Park seems to be near where Summit Lake Park is now. Not sure depending on the side of the street it was on, there seems to be just an open field as part of the park....or if on the other side of the street, it looks like apartments....likely public housing.

Interesting...
Cleveland had a "League Park" as well. It was the original home of the Indians for decades prior to the construction of old muni.
Western Reserve played many of its big-time college football games at League Park... Western Reserve and Case Tech often showcased their annual Thanksgiving Day rivalry game against one another,[6] as well as playing other Big Four Conference games against John Carroll and Baldwin-Wallace.

Dad and Grandpa told stories about going to the Thanksgiving Day games at League Park and later at old Muni.
In our trophy case at Case Tech we had an old football commemorating a 6-0 win over Ohio State in the early 1900's.

By Big Four, I assume that Western Reserve and Case were, at the time, separate schools...and accounted for two of the 4?
I wonder if there is a "Big Four" today. Of course, they would actually be a "little four" as they play D-III ball. In Cuyahoga Co. you still have CWRU, B-W, and John Carroll with D-III programs. I am trying to think if there is another....but I don't believe there is. Not in football. There is Ursuline...who competes only in women's sports.
You would have to go out of county to include like Oberlin or Hiram to make up the Big/Little 4. So, I think that grouping has gone by the wayside.

Correct... Case and Reserve merged their football programs in '70; Basketball and other programs in '72.
Of course I am using the term "programs" loosely...
No other college football programs I can think of in the county.

Case has a fair little program for their level. (nothing of course like Mt. Union) In fact, I went to see one of their games a few years back. My daughter was a cheerleader for Trinity Univ. (in San Antonio)....and they came here to play Case. They did not however, bring their cheerleaders with them. So, while we went to the game to see the team she cheered for, she had to stay in Texas. Case won the game by the way.

Pretty damn awesome.

Between E 66th Street and E 70th, and Linwood and Lexington avenues. Never been there? It's fantastic. A must visit, trust me.

I think it's part of the breakwall guarding Cleveland's harbor.

That may be Old Municipal Stadium.....or perhaps Old Muni is out in Lake Erie, remnants being used to create a man made reef.
....at least that is what Wiki says:
Cleveland Stadium was demolished in 1996 to make way for FirstEnergy Stadium, which opened in 1999. Much of the debris from the demolition was placed in Lake Erie to create an artificial reef.

The breakwall has been a round a lot longer that "the reef".

Then how can you give this opinion:

I HAVE been around that area......it is pretty much Ghetto...or was... when I lived on the east side of Cleveland. (but I did not live in that area: Shaker Square)
But, I will say, yes...it is likely worth a trip up around there.

Also....FYI.....not too far from there is this:
It is the "birthplace" of the most well known fictional literary character of the 20th century.
