Memorial Stadium was a sports stadium in Baltimore, Maryland that formerly stood on 33rd Street. It stood on an oversized block also bounded by Ellerslie Avenue, 36th Street and Ednor Road. Two different stadiums were located here, a 1922 version known as Baltimore Stadium, Municipal Stadium, and Venable Stadium and the stadium that, when finally completed in 1950, would become known as Memorial Stadium and, for a time, Babe Ruth Stadium in reference to the then-recently departed Baltimore native.
