I heard that back then they actually played the game in an open field and instead of bleachers fans sat on horses and watched the games.

I read a little bit recently about why basketballers were called “cagers”. They used to play separated from the fans by a cage. It was nominally to keep the ball and players from going into the stands… But apparently another reason was that it kept the fans from mauling players!!! 
That was my first season as well. But I missed two seasons living on the east coast.
Concessions have improved since 1894, but I heard shots of moonshine only cost a nickel…
