Actually...
I think it had the same configuration as the later Municipal Stadium, so the left side of the stands is short while the right side may extend all the way to the outfield. Plus, Brush Creek is right up against the left field fence which caused flood damage to the fence later on. Stupid choice of a spot, but it may not have been as much of a small hobo park as is insinuated with this much appreciated pic. Do you realize this could be a photo of the 1st major league game in 20th century Kansas City? 1880's KC Cowboys were the first pro team.
