Costs to Build 19th Century Stadiums?

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there's anywhere that can give at least a little detailing on what the costs were to build a new ballpark in the 1870s/80s/90s?

I was able to find out Brooklyn paid $13,000 in 1883, Boston paid $75,000 for a massive expansion in late 1880s, and that apparently by around 1900, Brooklyn paid a total of $100,000 to move its team into a new place, but that's very sketchy.

Any help would be appreciated, even if it's just one or two more data points for when I want to edit team funds to deduct for giving them a new park.

Thanks!
