Brisbine Park

Brisbine Park (sometimes erroneously called Brisbane Park) was a baseball park in Atlanta, Georgia.

In 1892, George E. Hopple, an executive of the Atlanta Traction Company, revived the Atlanta Crackers minor league baseball club after a two-year absence. He acquired a block bounded by Crumley Street Southwest (north); Windsor Street Southwest (east); Glenn Street Southwest (south); and Ira Street Southwest (west). The seating areas and home plate were in the northwest corner of the block. This location was convenient to the traction company's trolley lines. Coincidentally, it was about six blocks west of the future site of Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium.
