 Clarke Stadium
December 20, 1999 Ian Spears writes: Here is a photo of Clarke Stadium circa 1950, taken from a post card.
The caption on the post card reads "An aerial view of Clarke Stadium at Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, home of the Edmonton Eskimos, the [WIFU] Champions 1952." By that caption, I'd say the card was first published no later than summer 1954, otherwise it would have mentioned the 1954 Dominion Championship!
This shows the lot where Commonwealth now stands, thus would be rather suitable beside the present bird's eye photo you have on the Clarke Stadium page.
