Just wondering which stadium this is — thank you!

Cleveland
 
It looks like Cleveland Municipal Stadium, but not 100% sure

Looks like it says Cleveland is the home team on the scoreboard.

In doing an image search, it certainly looks like Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.

EDIT: I was beaten to it by mere seconds. :)

Thank you, gentlemen!

100 percent Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

Not just Cleveland Stadium. The entire city suffers the ignominy of that, for a multitude of "whatever" reasons.

It was taken in “Marlboro Country.”

From the angle and set up of the photo, I'm pretty sure 99% of us immediately thought, "Yankee Stadium, of course!" for a few seconds before realizing, "Oh wait, there's no ‘facade’ up there." :eek:

Fun fact: the renowned facade is actually a frieze.

Yankee Stadium would be a reasonable guess since most MLB players were photographed while on the road in New York because Topps was located in Brooklyn and didn’t want to travel a photographer around the country.

Marlboro and Seagram’s 7 on the scoreboard — those were the days.

Nothing's really changed, though, you know?
Replace those ad spots with FanDuel and other betting outfits and it could be 2025.
