After the last game was played, the old Milwaukee Brewers announced
they were moving to St. Louis to become the St. Louis Browns, made famous
by Bill Veeck in the 1950s. In 1953, the St. Louis Browns moved to
Baltimore to become the Baltimore Orioles.

Lloyd Street Grounds was situated about one mile northwest of downtown
Milwaukee in the eastern part of a block bound by West North Street on the
north, North 16th Street on the east, North 18th Street on the west and
West Lloyd Street on the south. The field faced due north, so Lloyd Street
ran directly behind home plate and the grandstand.
The current Milwaukee Brewers have named one of the concessions in Miller
Park the Lloyd Street Grille in honor of this park (other grilles are
named for Borchert Field and County
Stadium)
