Part of the outfield wall of Forbes Field still stands in its original location, now part of the campus of the University of Pittsburgh. the following image was taken 31 years, to the day, of the last game at Forbes.



Even after all these years, there are still traces of the original green paint still clinging on the concrete columns between each brick section of the wall.



An aerial view of the park filled to capacity. The section of the outfield wall that is still standing is that piece that wraps around the center field flagpole, (which also remains in it's original location). You can also note that the fans in the upper section of the left field pavilion had their view of the plate obstructed by the original stands past third base.



An old postcard from the 1960's looking into the stands from behind the late, great Roberto Clemente.

Nothing much to add, as the marker is self explanatory.
