 The first night game at Bison Stadium was played on July 3, 1930.According to one source, this was the first high-minor league night game, in a year in which many minor league teams resorted to lights during the heat of summer as a means of boosting attendance as the Great Depression began to take effect (the majors would not begin using lights until 1935).The ballpark had fairly cozy dimensions, caused in part by buildings to the east and west of the ballpark on the block.
