Freeport Municipal Stadium, New York, August 10, 1956 Ticket Stub. In nice condition with a light crease.
Most likely this was an auto racing event but we are not sure what event this was.
The municipal stadium was most notably known for its racing.
Short-track racing was a big pastime in the region and it drew people
from all over to Freeport.
Freeport Municipal Stadium, also known as the Freeport Stadium, opened
in 1931. The stadium was constructed of reinforced concrete and
originally had a capacity of 2,027. Later, midget auto races attracted
crowds as large as 10,000. The Penn Red Caps, a semiprofessional
baseball team, played at the stadium. The Brooklyn Dodgers football team
used the stadium as the site for their midweek training. Other
facilities included a football field, one-fifth of a cinder track, a
baseball field, and six tennis courts.
We are happy to combine shipping with other tickets.
