Replaced by Modern Venues
When a team leaves for a new building, the old venue's story usually ends quickly. These records connect the former venue to its active replacement so you can follow a team's home across both buildings.
A replacement is listed only where sources document the move. Some replacements were built next door or on the same land; others are across town.
