Culver Field is a former baseball ground located in Rochester, New York. Located at the northwest corner of University Avenue and Culver Road, Culver Field was home of the Rochester Broncos from 1886[1] until it burned down on October 8, 1893.[2]
Re-built for the 1898 season, the new Culver Field played host to the newly named Rochester Beau Brummels for a decade. However, the right field bleachers collapsed May 19, 1906, leading to dozens of injuries and lawsuits.[3] After the 1907 season, the ballpark was acquired by Gleason Works, which turned the site into the plant that stands to this day.[4]
Late in the 1898 season, three neutral-site games were played in Rochester, between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Cleveland Spiders of the National League. The games of August 27 and 29 were played at Culver Field.[5] The game of the 28th (a Sunday) was played at the Ontario Beach Grounds in the Charlotte section of the city.[6]
