Not good for the PBP images but......

I don't specifically remember any mention of using a hillside as seating, but I do recall that there was one park where there was an elevated area where you could park and watch the game from your car.

That's the stadium I grew up in

Interesting view of Forbes.

I take back what I said about grass field seating, partially at least. Raley Field:
Attachment 11252
Of course, I don't know when that photo was actually taken. It's relatively reacent though, so it hardly matters.

You can also find this kind of seating at almost all of the spring training parks in Arizona. Although speaking from experience, it is not fun to be out there in 121 degree heat.

Found some old stadium post cards on eBay. Here's Comiskey from '64.

Brand new Dodger Stadium in '62.

Griffith and surrounding neighborhood, 3/3/33.

Not sure what's going on here. I know it's Griffith Stadium, some opening day ceremony perhaps?

The home plate umpire lost his contact lens.

Finally found what's going on there. Walter Johnson Day, 8 July 1933.
