Frame Park History Frame Park History Frame Park Prior to its purchase and development, Frame Park was one of the sites of two of Waukesha’s Springs during the famed “Springs Era.” One of the springs was called Orchard Spring but was also referred to as Asahel Spring. The spring was located in the area that is now the Formal Gardens. The other spring in the park is Hobo Spring. Hobo is one of the oldest springs, likely improved between 1880 and 1892, and was given its name because of the bums and hobos who congregated near it after hitching rides on the nearby Soo Railroad Line.1 According to an article in the Waukesha Daily Freeman in 1954, the idea for Frame Park came about after Andrew J Frame (b.1844-d.1932), President of Waukesha National Bank, and Charles Schuetze, then Parks Commissioner, stopped at the large waste area along the river after a game of golf and began discussing using the land as a park.2 In August of 1926, the City accepted a gift of $25,000 from Andrew Fame for the purchase of land along both sides of the Fox River. Frame gave an additional $25,000 to help improve that land. The money was used to dredge the river to prevent flooding. Shortly after that the Formal Gardens were created over the former Orchard Spring.3 Baseball in Waukesha and Frame Park Baseball first got its start in Waukesha in 1868 or 1869. At that time there were around 25 local teams in Wisconsin. Waukesha’s team was known as the Diamonds. The team was part of a league started by a gentleman named Walter Carlin who was attending Carroll College. Andrew Frame, who donated the funds for the park acquisition and development, organized the local team to play against them and was considered one of the three charter members of that league. 4 Early players on the Diamond’s team included several prominent Waukesha residents such as Walter Rankin (served as Carroll University’s President from 1866-1903), Edward Rankin (sibling of Walter Rankin), Charles Gaspar, and William and Henry Blair, and Andrew J. Frame (Waukesha State Bank President). 5 The first ballpark, where this team played, was on West Avenue, in the vicinity of what is now West Avenue and Prospect Court. That ballpark closed in 1905.6 Baseball has been a major part of Frame Park for all of the Park’s history and is the longest standing recreational use at the park. It has even been mentioned that baseball was played on the land long before it even became a city park.7 The field has been the home to College, High School, municipal and 1 John M.

The field has even hosted Minor League baseball teams and was the location of local tryouts for professional teams, including the St. Louis Cardinals. In the 1930s the field at Frame Park was considered one of the nicest ball diamonds in the State of Wisconsin, with a grandstand and moveable bleachers which could seat 2,500 fans.8 For three years during World War II the Milwaukee Brewers, then a minor-league team that played at Borchert Field in Milwaukee, held their spring training camp at Frame Park to save on fuel costs. 9 The Brewers ground crew assisted in redoing the diamond, adding “professional touches not found on amateur diamonds” at the time to make it suitable for their Spring Training. 10 The St. Louis Cardinals held tryouts in Frame Park in the 1950s11 In July, 1954, after numerous years of discussion and planning, the City finally installed lights on the diamond. These lights were replaced after the Common Council approved their purchase in 2011. 8 The Oshkosh Daily Northwestern, Oshkosh Juniors Win Way Into Semifinals, July 30, 1938 9 Bob Buege, Borchert Field: Stories from Milwaukee’s Legendary Ballpark, Wisconsin Historical Society Press; 1st edition, 2017, page 244 10 Waukesha Daily Freeman, Frame Park Progress Launched 20 Years Ago After A Golf Date, August 4, 1954 11 Waukesha Daily Freeman, Friday May 13, 1955 Frame Park as a Festival Ground Community Gathering Place Throughout its history, Frame Park has been used as a community gathering space. In the 1930s one of the bigger events was an annual festival in honor of St. Bartholomew. This was a 3 day festival held in Frame Park. 12 12 Ellen D. Langill & Jean Penn Loerke, From Farmland to Freeways – A History of Waukesha County Wisconsin, Waukesha Historical Society, 1984, page 155 The Waukesha County Fair was held near downtown Waukesha between 1916 and 1960. The livestock and farm show portion of the Fair took place in the Sales Pavilion on Baxter Street (now the location of Discount Liquor and the River’s Edge Apartments), with other events located further north in the park area along the river. The fair moved briefly to Wales and then to its current location after the Waukesha County Livestock Breeders Association, which owned the Sales Pavilion, went out of business.13 The 4th of July parade has ended or started at Frame Park since at least the early 1950s. During the 50’s the park was one of the focal points of Waukesha’s Independence Day celebrations. In addition to the parade, the City recreation department organized baseball games, boat races and dog swimming races in the Fox River, talent shows, and street dances along White Rock Ave.14 A massive World War II victory celebration, held in Frame Park on September 1-3 1945, included similar events on a larger scale, as well as speeches, drill teams, concessions, and a fireworks show15. Waukesha Riverfest was held at Frame Park for several years in the 1990s. Concerts included national acts such as Rick Springfield as well as local bands such as Citizen King. The event drew up to several thousand spectators each year. Since 1982 the La Casa De Esperanza charter school has hosted Fiesta Waukesha every summer in Frame Park16. Fiesta Waukesha promotes multi-cultural awareness and is a fundraiser for the school and for La Casa’s other community programs. Events have included raffles and carnival rides, as well as Latin American foods, bands, and dancers. The Parks Department began hosting annual Oktoberfest celebrations in the park in 2016. The event includes German music and dancing, as well as children’s activities. It is free to attend but local restaurants sell concessions and Sprecher Brewing Co. sells beer. Frame Park has also hosted winter festivals. The American Legion Ice Carnival drew over 4000 attendees in 1933 despite -10 degree temperatures17. The present day Janboree included ice skating and an Iceball Tournament until ice levels on the Fox River were reduced due to restoration efforts. This year’s Janboree will include several events at Frame, such as Big Games at Schuetze Recreation Center and the 5K run/walk. Frame Park Today In November 1990, the City approved the Fox River Corridor Plan which focused on improvements to the river corridor, including the construction of the Riverwalk, as well as improvements to Frame and Bethesda Parks. That plan envisioned Frame Park becoming even more of a center for community festivals and outdoor public performances and wanted to have areas that could accommodate 5,000 visitors or more. The original plan actually included removal of the baseball diamond to foster this festival ground concept. That area was slated to be used for an outdoor performance amphitheater” 13 https://www.waukeshacountyfair.com/general-info/history/ 14 Waukesha Daily Freeman. Weather For Weekend Not Too Promising.

The park has three permanent buildings, the Schuetze Recreation Center, Rotary Building, and a restroom building at the northern end of the park. There is also private vendor, High Rollers, that operates out of the Rotary building and offers numerous recreational rentals including kayaks, paddleboards, and a multitude of unique pedal powered vehicles for use on the Riverwalk. The park has a strong mix of both active and passive recreational opportunities and is a popular place for special events, as it has throughout its entire existence. Active recreational uses include baseball (Carroll University, Waukesha South, Waukesha North, and other leagues), volleyball, bicycling, playground, playfields, and kayaking/boating. Passive uses include fishing, walking trails, the formal garden, Hobo Spring and other areas for relaxation. The park is host to numerous community and special events drawings thousands of visitors into Frame Park including the Trailbreaker, an annual marathon (with options for other distances), several other runs, the Riverwalk for Breast Cancer, Fiesta Waukesha, Badgerland Ski Shows, the new annual Oktoberfest Celebration, and National Night Out.

    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • Borchert Field
    Approximate boundaries: N-W. Keefe Ave; S-W. Burleigh; E-Hwy 43,W -N.20th St NORTHS IDEBorchert Field NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION Borchert Field is a mostly residential neighborhood with a modest business corridor on Burleigh Street. The neighborhood has gently rolling mounds and a relatively steep hill that slopes from the north side of Borchert Field at Keefe Avenue down to Ring Street. Streets follow a grid pattern with the exception of North Teutonia Avenue that runs at a diagonal from Keefe to Burleigh. The main neighborhood housing types are bungalows and two-story duplexes built in the early 20th century. Union Cemetery occupies the rest of the neighborhood west of Teutonia, taking up approximately one-third of Borchert Field. See neighborhood photos below. HISTORY The neighborhood of Borchert Field owes its name to Otto Borchert, a one-time owner of the minor league Milwaukee Brewers, a member team of the American Association between 1902 and 1952. The team played at Athletic Field, built in 1888, which was later renamed Brewers Field, and eventually called Borchert Field after the team’s owner. Ironically, Borchert Field (see belowi) is not even within the boundaries of the current neighbor- hood by that name. The stadium,that was razed in 1952, was bounded by North 7th, 8th, Chambers, and Burleigh Streets, off the southeastern border of today’s Borchert Field neighborhood, covered in part now by Interstate-43, but clearly located in the North Division area. The following photo provides a glimpse ofrooftops Postcard of Athletic Field exterior, 1911 surrounding the stadium—some in today’s Borchert Field neighborhood and some in North Division.

After winning six of the National Football League’s first 24 championships, the Packers won only 55 games, while losing 107 and tying 3, from 1945 through 1958. No wonder that Packer fans dwelt on the past, and the great legends of the past—Canadeo, Hutson, Herber, Hubbard, Hinkle, Dilweg, Lewellen, Isbell, Michalske, Lambeau. But the greatest legend of all was Johnny Blood, because he was not only a great football player, but also a colorful, flamboyant personality off the field. (His one-time teammate and fellow member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Clarke Hinkle, once said, “Next to Johnny Blood, Joe Namath looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy.”) I grew up in Green Bay during that period and, by the time I was thirteen and thinking of becoming a writer, I knew that someday I wanted to write a book about this legendary charac- ter.
