About Lost Stadiums

Lost Stadiums documents former US sports venues: demolished ballparks, closed arenas, abandoned speedways, redeveloped racetracks and stadiums that still stand but no longer host the games they were built for.

Each venue page tells you when it opened and closed, who played there, what happened to the building and what occupies the site today. Every record lists the sources it relies on, and every date shows how precisely it is known.

Why it exists

Information about lost venues is scattered across team histories, newspaper archives, local preservation groups and encyclopedia articles, and it often disagrees. Lost Stadiums brings it together in one consistent, sourced format, with a map so you can see what was once near you.

Your Sports History Map

Mark the venues you went to, add the date of a game you remember, attach a photo from that day and share it. You can start without an account; everything is saved in your browser until you choose to create one.

Independence

Lost Stadiums is an independent historical project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any league, team, venue operator or governing body. Team and venue names are used only to identify them.
