Ebbets Field
Ebbets Field was a ballpark in Brooklyn . It was the Brooklyn Dodgers' stadium . The smallest stadium in the National League was built by the architect Clarence Randall Van Buskink at the southwest end of the Crown Heights district near Prospect Park and opened on April 9, 1913 .
It had a capacity of 25,000, which was expanded to 32,000 in 1932 . As of 23. February 1960 , three years after moving the Dodgers to Los Angeles and five years after their first World Series championship, was demolished in the stadium.
