Unknown stadium?
 
This picture popped up on my radar and I first thought it might be from Chicago and of the old Wrigley Field (Weeghman Park) because of the lovely building in the background:

But on closer inspection, the roof windows/gables don't match a known picture of Weeghman:

After putting some effort into ruling that building out, I am still a bit curious about which stadium it is - between that building, and the steeple structure in the back left, it seems like it would be recognizable....

The bottom photo is Wrigley. The large building is a former seminary. The grounds of the seminary is what stood on Weegham Park before it was built. The buildings to the left of the seminary are still across the street from Wrigley and have rooftop seating.

Right. I used that picture of Wrigley to convince myself that the unknown stadium (top photo) wasn't Wrigley. At first glance, I thought the building in the top photo was the seminary, but it didn't match.
