Johnstown, PA
The Redevelopment Authority worked with the City of Johnstown to transform the Point Stadium into a modern, multipurpose entertainment venue. The $11 million in renovations include new seating, concourses, locker rooms and concession stands which create an attractive venue that will lure crowds downtown. The 80-year-old ballpark is where baseball legends Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson and Lou Gehrig once played. The Authority assisted the project through its EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant to characterize the site prior to renovation.
The original charter for the City of Johnstown declared that “…all that piece of ground called the Point, lying between the said town and the junction of the two rivers or creeks aforesaid, shall be reserved for common public amusements for the use of said town and it future inhabitants forever.” Throughout the City’s history the land has been used for leisure and community events. Since 1944 the Point Stadium has been home to the All American Amateur Baseball Association Tournament (AAABA). |
