Exposition Park (Pittsburgh)
Exposition Park was the name given to three historic stadiums, located in what is today Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The fields were used mainly for professional baseball and American football from c. 1879 to c. 1915.

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.
