Name That Seating Chart

Not Fenway Park.  Not Sutter Health Park.

But like the latter, it at one point had the challenge of being home to two baseball teams at once.

Not to hijack this thread cos it’s a good one, but the Braves have an exceptionally ugly stadium including fishing tackle private boxes

Not Yankee Stadium.

This park has been called home by three World Series winners.

Can you name the MLB stadium by their seating chart?

Ok, reading these clues carefully now, it doesn’t say “current” stadium so the West Sacramento guess was clearly misplaced.

St. Louis and Philadelphia used to host both teams in their parks but too many WS wins for both.  Anything else that hosted two MLB teams is pretty obviously not this image (e.g, it’s not Shea).

We know from the top at least one of those teams that played there was in MLB.  But going by the careful wording, the second team might not be MLB - could be Negro Leagues, minor leagues, Federal League, etc.  But if we need 3 World Series wins, it’s not some old park in DC or Cleveland or Boston (NL) and it’s certainly not Tiger Stadium or the Polo Grounds.

The curvy roads don’t make sense for whatever came before Wrigley.  So this has got to be Cincinnati or Pittsburgh?  So, umm, Crosley Field or Forbes Field…and I guess the image has black and yellow so we’ll say the latter.

Well done, Detective.  Forbes is correct!

Like the Pirates' current home, Forbes was considered the class of its generation.

It foreshadowed baseball's move toward the suburbs as it was dubbed "Dreyfuss's Folly" at groundbreaking due to its being a 10-minute trolley ride from downtown, but it ultimately earned the richer nickname of "The House of Thrills."

Dreyfuss hated cheap homers and that's why all that outfield space is there.  The Buccos once hit a record eight triples in a game, and more hard-running triples and fewer smug jogging homers is good baseball to my thinking.  After Dreyfuss died, however, left field was brought in 30 feet to accommodate Hank Greenberg, but the real beneficiaries were future Mets legends Ralph Kiner and Frank Thomas, the former of whom gave the left-field corner its name.
