Английская Википедия:Derks Field
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox stadium Derks Field was a minor league baseball park in the Western United States, located in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was the home field of the Salt Lake Bees, Angels, and Gulls of the Pacific Coast League, Bees, Giants, and Trappers of the Pioneer Baseball League, and the Salt Lake Sting of the American Professional Soccer League.
Opened in 1928 as Community Park,[1][2][3] the ballpark's final seating capacity was 10,000.[4] In 1940, it was named for Salt Lake Tribune sports editor John C. Derks.[1]
Derks Field had replaced the previous professional ballpark, Bonneville Park (originally called Majestic Park), which was south of 9th Street between State Street and Main Street, on the site of an amusement park called the Salt Palace, which had been destroyed by fire in 1910. It operated from 1915 through 1927. As part of the construction of the new Community Park, the Bonneville stands were taken down and reassembled at the new site.[5]
Destroyed by arson on the night of September 24, 1946,[6][7][8][9] it reopened in May 1947,[2] and was expanded in 1958 with the return of the PCL.[10]
Major League Baseball teams occasionally played exhibition games at Derks Field, including the 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates and the 1964 Milwaukee Braves.[11]
The field was aligned to the southeast, with a view of the Wasatch Range, and its elevation was Шаблон:Convert above sea level. Its successor, Smith's Ballpark, opened on the same site Шаблон:Time ago in 1994.
