YMCA Field, also known as Athletic Park, opened in 1895 at the corner of 14th and Jefferson streets, the ballpark closed after the 1903 season. Today, Seattle University's Championship Field soccer stadium occupies a large portion of the site of YMCA Field.[12][13][14][15]
Dan Dugdale, who played on and owned several early Seattle professional teams, built Yesler Way Park and Dugdale Field.[16][17][18] Dugdale Field burned down due to arson in 1932, so the Seattle minor league team relocated Civic Field, on the site of Memorial Stadium.[7]
