The publication stated that home games would be held at Hagemeister Park, that there were 38 prospective players for the team, most of whom were past standouts at Green Bay East and West high schools, and that full uniforms would be supplied to up to 20 players. The publication also reported that if the Green Bay Packers are able to secure a franchise in the upcoming months, they will be given the right to host playoff games.
Hagemeister Park is a baseball-only stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It is home to the Green Bay Packers football team. The park opened its doors in 1914 and has a maximum capacity of 10,000 people. It was designed by John W. Menard, who also designed County Stadium in Milwaukee and Tiger Stadium in Detroit.
The Green Bay Packers have played all of their home games in Hagemeister Park since Lambeau Field opened in 1957. However, the team did play one game at City Stadium in Green Bay in 1945 while Lambeau Field was under construction. This game is not counted as a home game for purposes of determining the Packers' overall record over time.
In addition to the Packers, Hagemeister Park has hosted several other major league teams including the Green Bay Bluebirds of the All-America Football Conference from 1946 to 1947 and the Green Bay Dodgers of the North American Soccer League in 1978.
In 1922, Green Bay East High School was erected on the site of Hagemeister Park, forcing the Packers to relocate to Bellevue Park, a tiny minor league baseball stadium seating around 5,000. They only stayed at Bellevue Park for two seasons before moving to City Stadium in 1925.
Since their inception as a professional football club in 1919, the Packers have played their home games in eight different venues. They played at Hagemeister Park from 1919 to 1922, including their first two seasons in the National Football League (NFL).
The Packers' initial home field was a public park near the East River from 1919 through 1922. In 1920, fans helped construct a fence around the pitch so that the club could charge entrance. After that season, the tiny, wooden stadium was demolished and rebuilt on the same site for the 1921 season, with a capacity of 3,500. The new stadium was made out of wood and had a grass field. It was also located in downtown Green Bay, Wisconsin.
They moved into their new stadium, City Stadium, in 1922. This paper mill town was then able to say it had hosted a football team from every league except the NFL. The team went 8-1-1 in its first season in City Stadium. However, they lost their only game at Forbes Field by a score of 7-0 to John McGraw's New York Giants. The Packers went on to win two more titles in 1923 and 1925 before moving to their current home field in 1926.
City Stadium was later used by other sports teams (including baseball's Green Bay Crickets during World War II). But it was finally torn down in 1930.
The Packers played their first game at their current home field, Lambeau Field, on September 11, 1926. The team was undefeated when they played their first game at their new stadium. However, they lost that first game 21-14 to the Chicago Cardinals. From then on, the Packers have been consistently competitive each year since then.
The best bets for football teams are the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center in Ashwaubenon, which has 353 rooms, and the Hyatt Regency Green Bay, which has 241 rooms. The Packers stay in the Radisson, and the Hyatt has welcomed teams, notably during the preseason.
Both hotels are about 15 minutes from the stadium by car. If you're planning to visit other sights in Green Bay, be aware that they are about a 30-minute drive away.
The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Downtown/Green Bay is only a few blocks from the stadium and offers free hot breakfast each morning. It's also within walking distance of many local attractions including the Shops at Woodlake Mall and the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus.
If you're looking to spend less than $100 a night, try one of these options: the Quality Inn & Suites, Red Roof Inns, or HomeAway's self-catering rentals. All offer free breakfasts and microwaves in their guest kitchens.
The Green Bay area is known for its fine dining scene.
The Texas Rangers play their home games at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, which is their sole tenant. They've been playing at this stadium since it opened in 1994, and it's also been known as "The Ballpark in Arlington" and "Ameriquest Field in Arlington" throughout that time. The stadium now has a capacity of 49,170 people. It was built by Halliburton, who still have a booth at center field with two fans inside watching video monitors all day every day.
The Rangers' original ballpark was called Shafer Park. It had a capacity of 6,000 people and they opened it on April 17, 1962. The team moved to Dallas County Stadium after one season, and that venue became known as North Texas State University's football stadium until it was destroyed by fire in 1971. The Rangers then moved back to Shafer Park for another single season before building their current stadium.
Texas Stadium was a huge success when it was built in 1973. It had a capacity of 106,828 people and it was the largest baseball-only stadium in America until 1983. The Rangers played their first game in the new ballpark on April 14th of that year. They lost to the Chicago White Sox 3-2 in 10 innings. After one season the stadium was demolished and replaced with Globe Life Park, which opened in 2009.
The Rangers have won five World Series titles so far, in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2015.
