Our goal is to build a separate page
for every sports team and sports venue
in the history of Memphis.
 
Memphis Wrestling at Ellis Auditorium
(circa 1960)
 

This is Russwood Park, home of the Memphis Chicks of the old Southern League (AAA). It was destroyed by fire on April 17, 1960, after a major league exhibition game between the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians.
