mknell: Unlike most multipurpose stadiums, Exhibition Stadium had no moveable stands. This led to the unique layout where a significant number of seats down the first base line and in the grandstand were far beyond the outfield fence and faced towards the unused portion of the football field. This was a stadium with 20,000 good seats and 25,000 bad seats for baseball — it was estimated that the seats in the far end of the north grandstand were over 400 feet behind the centre field fence. It also meant that the stands were ridiculously far from the field for football. (via)
