  1. Stadium Razing

  2. Board set to OK razing of Memorial By M. Dion Thompson – Baltimore Sun – January 24 State officials are expected to approve plans today to demolish Memorial Stadium, clearing the way for the cherished Baltimore landmark to be replaced with a housing complex for senior citizens. The vacant stadium on 33rd Street has been a Baltimore landmark since its dedication in 1954. After the Colts left town and the Orioles moved to Camden Yards, there was little need for Memorial Stadium. Members of the Waverly community, city officials and state legislators clashed over what to do with the site. Some wanted to save the stadium. Others wanted it torn down. In the end, a plan by the nonprofit Govans Ecumenical Development Corp. to build affordable housing for 500 seniors won neighborhood approval. See Razing Demand - 1 Supply $ Demand - 2 Land
