PROLOGUE

The thousands of fans who walked down the new concrete ramps were filled with anticipation of what was going to take place. The long-awaited debut of Cleveland Municipal Stadium was just moments away. Since 1928, city officials and fans had been patiently waiting for the gigantic new facility to become a reality. Now, on Sunday July 31, 1932, it was about to happen.
