Correct. Now try the others. I think some of the others are easier than that one. A lot of people don't know that there was another Wrigley Field. Number 3 should be easy.

Both of those are correct. I'll give you guys some time on the last one. It is now called Nickerson Field.

Does Nickerson field really count for #2?
It was the first answer that popped into my head, but aside from the one grandstand, it is not that same structure.

Braves Field, both answers.
What stadium hosted the World Series in its first three years with the home team losing all three years?
Correct. the interesting thing about the second question was that it was the Red Sox that won those WS in Braves Field, not the Braves. Braves Field opened in 1915 and the Braves let the Sox play their WS games there the first 2 years after the Sox had lent them Fenway for the 1914 WS. Boston won three straight WS playing their home games during the series in borrowed parks.
The answer to your question is the Polo Grounds. Rebuilt after a fire in 1911, the Giants won the NL pennant 1911-13 and lost all three series.
What stadium holds the top three atendance marks for WS games, a three game mark of over 270,000?

1. Forbes Field (I'm pretty sure)
2. Braves Field

4. Wrigley Field

You have the answer in your answer (it was also answered above). The Giants, Yankees, and Mets all played at the Polo Grounds.
