Stars Park

Stars Park was a baseball park in St. [Louis, Missouri], at the southeast corner of Compton and Laclede Avenues. Contemporary city directories give the address as 130 South Compton Avenue. The stadium was one of the few ballparks purposely built for a Negro league team. The ground was home to the St. Louis Stars of the Negro [National League (the first)|Negro National League] from 1922 to 1931. It had a capacity of 10,000. The stadium hosted various postseason games for the Stars: It hosted Games 1-3 of the 1925 Negro National League Championship Series and Games 5-9 of the 1928 Negro National League Championship Series and Games 1-4 of the 1930 Negro National League Championship Series.
A photograph of the park was unearthed in 2016, in the collection of the Missouri Historical Society; the park was previously thought to have no surviving photographs.
The ballpark site is now occupied by the Harris–Stowe State University baseball field. The field includes a monument referencing Stars Park.
