Offermann Stadium

Offermann Stadium was the site of a former minor league baseball park that was most commonly known as Offermann Stadium and served as the home of the Buffalo Bisons. It opened in 1889 as the new Olympic Park, was renamed Buffalo Baseball Park in 1907, became Bison Stadium after reconstruction in 1924, and was renamed in 1935 for late team owner Frank J. Offermann. The first game on the site was played on May 8, 1889, and the first night game in International League history was played there on July 3, 1930. Bison great Luke Easter was the first player to hit a ball over the famous centerfield scoreboard on June 14, 1937. The last game on the site was played on September 17, 1960. The stadium also hosted other sporting events, most notably boxing, and Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, and Hank Aaron all played there.
