Description: 1941 View of Crosley Field, "Home of the Cincinnati Reds" in Cincinnati, Ohio Crosley Field, Home of the Cincinnati Reds at Findlay, Western and York Streets in Cincinnati, OhioCrosley Field was a Major League Baseball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was the home field of the National League's Cincinnati Reds from 1912 through June 24, 1970, and the original Cincinnati Bengals football team, members of the second (1937) and third American Football League (1940–41). It was not the original home of the current NFL franchise of the same name: the home of those Bengals in 1968 and 1969 was nearby Nippert Stadium, located on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. Crosley Field was on an asymmetrical block bounded by Findlay Street (south), Western Avenue (northeast, angling), Dalton Avenue (east), York Street (north) and McLean Avenue (west) in the Queensgate section of the city. Crosley has the distinction of being the first major-league park with lights for playing night games. The "Findlay and Western" intersection was the home field of the Reds from 1884 until mid-season 1970, when the team moved to Riverfront Stadium. The location of the diamond and consequently the main grandstand seating area was shifted several times during the 86+1/2 seasons that the Reds played at the site. Three different parks stood there:1884–1901: League Park1902–1911: Palace of the Fans1912–1970: Redland Field, renamed Crosley Field in 1934 Former names: Redland Field (1912–1933)Location: Findlay Street and Dalton Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio Tenants:Cincinnati Reds (MLB) (1912–1970)Cincinnati Cuban Stars (NNL) (1921)Cincinnati Reds (NFL) (1933–1934)Cincinnati Bengals (AFL) (1937, 1941–1943)Cincinnati Tigers (NAL) (1937)Cincinnati Buckeyes (NAL) (1942)Cincinnati Clowns (NAL) (1943–1945) "I strive to deliver 5-star customer service" PLEASE view pictures of this item in upper left for condition and for any flaws or concerns that may exist.
