Comment by John Gayer on May 27, 2021 at 8:56am: Curious about the source of this image. When I first noticed the sign on the door that says "Illinois Field," I thought there might be an American connection. A sports field at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois, was given that name in 1892. No doubt there is another Illinois Field.
