  • The original stadium opened in 1926 with a capacity of 17,000. The stadium featured an upper-deck on top of the grandstand. The Greater Johnstown High School football team regularly sold out the Point for their rivalry games between Windber High School and Altoona Area High School. The upper grandstand was later removed and capacity was reduced to 10,000. It was the home of numerous minor-league baseball teams and the All-American Amateur Baseball Association (AAABA) World Series baseball tournament. It was also used for filming in All The Right Moves. The original Point Stadium had unusual field dimensions. Fitted into a rectangular city block, it was just 251 feet down the right-field line and 262 feet down the left-field line, but bulged out to over 400 feet in center field, depending on the location of a snow fence which cut off the farthest reaches of the stadium in right center field. Huge nets were put in left field to keep balls in play, preventing easy home runs, and also to prevent balls from reaching the adjacent street. The original Point Stadium's dimensions (1926–2002): * Left Field Foul Line: 262 feet * Center Field: 385 feet * Right Field Foul Line: 251 feet
