Abstract
Description
The original Roosevelt Stadium was built as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt�s New Deal in 1936 and demolished in 2005 so Union City High School could be built on the site.
After the school was built, its athletic complex was also named Roosevelt Stadium; the current field is located atop the school.
Over the years the Union City Roosevelt Stadium hosted, (in addition to High School games) events in semi-pro baseball, soccer, track, boxing, as well as numerous special events, from tractor pulls, concerts, carnivals and Fourth of July fireworks shows to an exhibition baseball game featuring Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
On September 9, 1994, the city held a grand re-opening of the Stadium.
