Exposition Park is a former baseball ground located in Kansas City, Missouri, United States.
[1] It was on the grounds of the Kansas City exposition park which had opened in 1886 between 12th and 15th Street on Kansas Street—the center piece of which was an 80,000 square foot building modeled on The Crystal Palace until it was destroyed in 1901 in a fire that had occurred just a week after plans were announced to dismantle it.
[2] The exact location and orientation of the ballpark, per Sanborn maps, was East 15th Street (now Truman Avenue) (south, first base); the imaginary line of what is now the west edge of Montgall Avenue (and formerly the Exposition Driving Park Speeding Stables) (west, third base); the imaginary line of what is now the north edge of East 14th Street (and formerly the Exposition Driving Park) (north, left field); roughly the western edge of the parking lot between Chestnut and Kansas Avenue (formerly the training areas of the park) (east, right field).
[3] Exposition Park also played host to a game between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals on October 15, 1892.
[5] The Cornhuskers were bought by Charles Comiskey following the 1894 season and eventually became the Chicago White Sox.
