Gordon and Koppel Field

The city directory gave Gordon & Koppel Stadium's address as "47th [Street] southeast corner Tracy Avenue."

Prior to the Federal League's arrival, the most important event held at the stadium was probably the November 24, 1910, Kansas vs. Missouri annual rivalry college football game.

[Leavenworth Weekly Times, November 24, 1910, p.1] The change in venue gave the annual event a boost, with the highest gate receipts recorded to that point in the series ($34,000).

[Atchison Daily Globe, November 25, p.7] This entry in the rivalry series was the last one to be played in Kansas City until 1944.

The ballfield was located on a block bound by Lydia Avenue and The Paseo (east, left field); 47th Street (north, third base) (approximates Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard); Tracy Avenue (west, first base); and Brush Creek (south, right field).
