About this postcard
An elevated view of Lynchburg Municipal Stadium, with the football gridiron and its grandstands in the foreground and the fenced baseball diamond and bleachers beyond. Lawns, trees, and a curving entrance drive surround the complex. The printed caption identifies the site as showing both the football and baseball parks. Lynchburg's municipal stadium was a dual-purpose athletic complex, the kind Virginia cities built in the 1930s and 1940s to host high school and college football, minor-league baseball, and public events.
