Red Wing Stadium

Red Wing Stadium opened on Norton Street in Rochester on May 2, 1929, built and owned by the St. Louis Cardinals for their top farm club. On Opening Day 1931 it drew 19,006 fans, an attendance record for the ballpark that was never broken. The stadium was renamed Silver Stadium in 1968 for longtime club president Morrie Silver, and future Hall of Famers such as Stan Musial, Cal Ripken Jr., and Eddie Murray all played there before it was demolished in 1997 and 1998.
