Davids Stadium

Davids Stadium opened in Newark, New Jersey in 1926, built by Charles Davids for his International League Newark Bears after he moved a franchise there from Reading, Pennsylvania. It was renamed Ruppert Stadium after Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert, and the Negro Leagues' Newark Eagles also called it home from 1936 to 1948. The 1937 Bears team that played there is widely considered the greatest minor league club in history, and the stadium was demolished in 1967.
