Mark,

The stadium is old Navin Field in Detroit. It's a bit tough to recognize, as it seemed to have a pretty major face-lift every year or so during the 1930s. For the World Series that year, ginormous bleachers were built to hold the extra fans, so that certainly changed the landscape considerably.

This is what it looked like around the time Ruth hit his 701st that July of '34...
