Offermann Stadium - a photo from the archives
Finding pictures of old Offermann Stadium, online or anyplace else for that matter, is one tough chore, as we found out when we did the research for our feature article in Artvoice back in August.Frank Offermann III has extended us an invitation to visit with him and see all his stuff, and we are hoping that once we get the time to pay that visit we can get some cool photos of the old yard to scan and post right here and/or on the USRT site.I got the picture above from Jim Hornung, former head groundskeeper at Dunn Tire Park and now Erie County Parks Commissioner. When I saw this photo hanging in his office, I asked if I could scan it and he said fine.So here it is… East Ferry St runs directly behind third base and Michigan St runs behind first base. The buildings directly behind first base were actually part of the stadium property and served as administrative and ticket offices. Behind the center field scoreboard is the corner of Masten Ave and Woodlawn Ave.Enjoy!
