Cleveland Indians Panoramic - Municipal Stadium

Home of the Cleveland Indians for 61 years, fans of the team were more than ready to move out of the 'Mistake by the Lake' in 1993. The first Cleveland Indians game at Lakefront Stadium, as it was originally named, was on July 3, 1932. What the team saw when they stepped onto the field was an enormous stadium with a capacity of 78,189. Initially, the Indians had good attendance at Lakefront, but that soon changed. And because of the size of the stadium, when the Indians attracted only 20,000 fans, it looked like the stadium was empty. Besides being called Lakefront Stadium, the stadium also got the name Cleveland Municipal Stadium, which eventually became the it's more common name. In 1985, Richard and David Jacobs bought the Indians and immediately began to lobby for a new stadium - leading eventually to Jacobs Field in downtown Cleveland. The last Indians game at Cleveland Municipal Stadium was on October 3, 1993. The Cleveland Browns (NFL) continued to play at the stadium until 1995. But sadly (or not so sadly), the Mistake by the Lake was finally demolished in November of 1996, after the Browns moved Baltimore. A Stadium only an Indians fan could love, this pano is a great and unique gift for any longtime Indians fan.
