Forbes Field

Forbes Field, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was a historic baseball stadium that served as the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates from its opening on June 30, 1909, until its last game on June 28, 1970. With a seating capacity of 25,000 and distinctive ivy-covered brick walls, it was renowned for its unique features, including a 32-foot wooden U.S. Marine sculpture during World War II and the notable dimensions of its outfield.

Demolished in 1971, the site now hosts the University of Pittsburgh's Posvar Hall, with remnants of the center-field and right-center walls still standing. Forbes Field also holds a rich history, including being the location where Babe Ruth hit the last home runs of his career and the infamous hard infield that caused injuries during critical games.
