Curbed takes a look at stadiums from Philly's sports past.
Check them out.
South Philly may be home to all of the city's stadiums today, but you might be surprised to know that North Philly was where all the magic began. Take
Baker Bowl
, for instance, which stood at Broad Street and Lehigh Avenue and was the
first home of the Phillies.
And just a few blocks away was Shibe Park, which was
once described as
, "the greatest place of its character in the world." And that's just the start of it. Here are
six football and baseball stadiums
that once stood in Philadelphia. Just in time for the Super Bowl, let's take a trip down memory lane, when these behemoths only cost $100,000 to build and tickets to see a
Jimi Hendrix concert
in them set folks back $6.50.?
