Tony makes an excellent guess. Not sure there's any view here specifically of the "stadium," but plenty of shots
of the buildings, waterways, and gondolas at the 1896 Columbian Exposition (world's fair) fairgrounds begin here: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...um&FORM=HDRSC2

I saw a postcard on ebay of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair "Grand Lagoon" with a palace or stadium in the background and gondolas on the water around it. I think it's about as close a match as possible. I don't know how to post a link to it though, sorry.

Pardon the egregious error of our typo.
There's also the Trans Mississippi International Exposition of 1898 -- the "Omaha World's Fair" -- the only problem being that, while the TMIE also featured grandly ornate temporary buildings and gondola-plied waterways, like the 1893 Columbian Exposition and the 1904 St Louis World's Fair, it, too, included no building anywhere identified as a "stadium": http://trans-mississippi.unl.edu/mem.../TMI04521.html Perhaps Buffalo's 1901 Pan-American Exposition merits consideration as a candidate for the subject of the pin's image, since it provided similar buildings, waterways, and gondolas, plus an actual and substantial stadium. The Pan-Am's canal did not verge quite as closely on the stadium as the image suggests, but perhaps this is just the result of some artistic liberty. http://panam1901.org/graphicarts/tympalyn_map.jpg http://library.buffalo.edu/pan-am/ex...s/stadium.html http://panam1901.org/visiting/food/s...restaurant.htm Rob, every gewgaw, gimrack, and souvenir imaginable is produced for these sort of expositions.
