Bill, it is confusing.

Both parks were across Huntington Avenue from one another(by the Fens). I don't believe there is a marker for the old Nat'l field and Ruggles Street T station and tracks are in it's place. The South End area was a ghetto when I was growing up, but now it's being resurrected, much like Harlem is experiencing.

If you download Google Earth you can easily find the footprints of many forgotten Stadiums' ghosts. Including Ebbets', Polo Grounds and League Park in Cleve. Very fun program.
