Maple Leaf Stadium was a jewel box-style baseball stadium in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located at the foot of Bathurst Street on the south side of Lake Shore Boulevard (formerly Fleet Street).
It was built in 1926 by Lol Solman for his Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team of the International League.
[2] The opening game was held on April 29, 1926, with the Maple Leafs rallying to defeat the Reading Keystones in extra innings before a rain-soaked crowd of 12,781.
[3] On November 8, 1926, Maple Leaf Stadium was the site of the first professional American football game to be played outside the United States, a 28-0 victory for the New York Yankees over the Los Angeles Wildcats, both of the first American Football League.
After the Maple Leafs left, the stadium was considered to be a safety hazard and demolition began within a few months into 1968.
Toronto lost out as a candidate city to Montreal in 1968, canceling any plans for a stadium on the site.
