Today, the remnants of that long-ago stadium can be seen in the little clues around what is now Nickerson Field, a soccer and lacrosse stadium at Boston University. The passageway under the stands remains virtually intact from the Boston Braves’ days, and the team’s old administration building is now a B.U. police station.

Nickerson Field is a historical marker that connects a sports-crazy region’s bountiful present to a glorious past. The line from Babe Ruth to Tom Brady, two of the greatest to ever play here, goes right through the field.

Braves Field was home to the Boston NL team from 1915-52. Subsequently it was acquired by Boston University and within a few years many sections had been demolished and reworked as Nickerson Field. Those familiar with the area should find some recognizable sights in these post cards dated c. 1920s-50s.
