Borchert Field, Baseball stadium in Milwaukee, United States.
Located between North Seventh and Eighth Streets, Borchert Field contained wooden grandstands and hosted professional baseball games from 1888 to 1952.
Originally named Athletic Park, the stadium changed its name to Borchert Field in 1927 following the death of Milwaukee Brewers owner Otto Borchert.
The stadium welcomed baseball stars including Babe Ruth, Satchel Paige, Ty Cobb, Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, and Olympic champions Jim Thorpe and Jesse Owens.
The venue expanded from an initial capacity of 4,800 seats to accommodate 13,000 spectators and received permanent lighting installations in 1935.
The site of this historic baseball field now lies beneath Interstate 43, following its demolition in 1953 to make way for transportation infrastructure.
