OK, it's another Sunday so here's another post. Today we go to Sacramento for the ballpark that served that city through most of the classic PCL era.
Buffalo Park was the home of the Solons in the 1910s and into the early 1920s, named for a local beer company . There's not a ton of photo documentation of the place, though there is a
movie made of 1920 opening day against Seattle, which I put to use.
The stadium was expanded in 1922 and went through several name changes over the next quarter century, starting as
Moreing Field and ending as
Edmonds Field when it was (mostly) destroyed in a 1948 fire. It was rebuilt (but not renamed) after the fire, but had something of a different look/vibe. I aimed for a look just pre-fire, and used some of the photo documentation after the fire to use for the still-intact outfield wall.
Here's the c. 1920 Buffalo Park zip file

Thanks to KCStengelJr for trying these out and fixing the grids. Next up will be Hughes Stadium, aka Sacramento Part 3. I have Bugle Field all-but-ready, then I'll try to get one of those AAGPBL parks done...
