Normal Park


 

Normal Park is the name of a former football field in Chicago, Illinois. It was at Racine Avenue and Normal Avenue. It was the home of the Chicago Cardinals, who started out as the "Morgan Athletic Club" in 1898 and changed their name to "Racine Cardinals" after they adopted their dark-red team colors. The Cardinals joined the new American Professional Football Association (soon renamed the National Football League) and continued to use Normal Park as their home field for several years. They also changed their name again, to "Chicago Cardinals", to avoid confusion after the National Football League fielded a team in Racine, Wisconsin. They traded off with Comiskey Park a couple of times before finally abandoning Normal Park.
