Text	The new Union Base Ball grounds at Thirty-ninth and State streets were formally opened Tuesday by a game between the St. Louis Browns and the Chicago Unions, the latter being a new organization. The grounds are excellently located and in very good shape, even at the present time, when it is taken into consideration that one week ago not the slightest preparation had been made for the establishment of grounds of this description. Since then a high fence has been placed around the entire grounds, which are considerably larger than the White Stocking Park. A grand stand has been erected capable of seating 3,000 people, and also two other stands, which can accommodate about 7,000 more. Probably 1,500 people were at the grounds yesterday [6/27/82].
