Very nice atricle so far. It would be nice if somebody living in the Boston/West Roxbury area or somebody currently attending Northeastern University would take a picture of the historical marker commemorating the South End Grounds. This can be found on the side of the Renaissance Parking Garage at Northeastern. Randall311 17:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Location of South End Grounds
The article states that the South End Grounds was located at the northeast corner of Walpole Street and Columbus Avenue. According to Google maps, these roads - they still do exist - are quite far apart and never intersect. MarkieAA 19:28, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- The article parrots the Ballparks.com info, which appears to be out of date. Check Google Maps for the area across the tracks south of Northeastern University. It looks like Walpole no longer exists in that area or was renamed. I think the Ruggles Station sits roughly where the left field corner would have been. Also, the ballpark sat just southwest of the current Carter Playground. It's tempting to think they might have been the same property, but they weren't, although they were essentially adjacent.
