[Eurekas vs. Irvingtons 5/16/1867] By the time set for the opening of the game, 3 o’clock, a crowd of at least five thousand people had assembled and surrounded the entire grounds in ranks four and five deep, those in front sitting or lying upon the grass over-looked by their less fortunate friends in the rear, while the fences presented an appearance calculated to cause the parties owning them considerable trouble in the way of repairs. The only seats on the ground, were, with the exception of those reserved for members of the Press, occupied by the ladies, of whom some two or three hundred were present to witness the triumph or defeat of their favorites. New York Dispatch May 19, 1867 [see also NY Dispatch 7/28/1867 for their new grounds.]
