This is the New Orleans site of the Corbett-Sullivan fight of 1892 (among a few others). Though the book it came from calls it the "Pelican Club", I have named it after the boxrec designation "Olympic Club".

I'm taking another run at the missing venues from the original database. Here's a few that are non-U.S. Historical (probably the toughest kind for me to find)

Pacaembu Stadium, Brazil

Thunder · 07-14-2007, 02:41 PM

Gran Stadium; Havana, Cuba

Thunder · 07-14-2007, 02:45 PM

Funkturm-Hallen; Berlin, Germany (I think)

Thunder · 07-14-2007, 03:14 PM

Gruga-Halle; Essen, Germany
(probably should not have hyphen, but that's something I'll clear up in TBCB3)

Thunder · 07-14-2007, 03:15 PM

Olympia Stadion; Berlin, Germany

Thunder · 07-14-2007, 03:16 PM

Ostsee Halle; Kiel Germany

These are great tmax and Thunder. I especialy like the old fight booths. I wonder when those went the way of the dinosaur? I know that they were alive at least in Scotland into the late forties, perhaps even onto the fifties.
