The city was annexed into Pittsburgh (then often spelled "Pittsburg") in 1907, which became the city's North Side (Pittsburgh), North Side, located across from Pittsburgh's downtown area. Due to flooding from the nearby river, the three stadiums' exact locations varied somewhat. The final version of the ballpark was between the eventual sites of Three Rivers Stadium and PNC Park. In 1903, the third incarnation of Exposition Park was the first National League ballpark to host a World Series game.
