During the 1862 season, William Cammeyer enclosed the Union Grounds in Brooklyn, New York and began charging admission becoming the first official stadium in baseball history. The fee was 10 cents and the first game featured with a cover charge was played on April 18, 1869 between local players. On April 12, 1909 Shibe Park opened and became the first all concrete and steel constructed baseball ballpark in the world. http://www.baseballballparks.com/ The park did not sit idle during the winter. Its field was flooded and served as the rink for an ice skating club. Union Grounds was demolished in July of 1883.
