Hello — Does anybody plan on trying to create something for Elysian Fields? It was where all the biggest games were played before the Capitoline Grounds were built; the Mutual and Atlantic clubs played a championship game there for 15,000 spectators in 1865. There were no fences because it was a public park. That made it impossible to charge admission, so the Fields were phased out of big match play after 1865. Photoa are available in the LoC and on John Thorn’s blog.
