One of the first sports venues in San Jose was the Agricultural Park, located near the Alameda. The venue hosted baseball, cycling and other sports. As far as I can tell, events listed at the “fair grounds” and “cyclers park” are also references to this public venue.
Semi-pro teams like the Athletics of San Jose, the Santa Clara University and University of the Pacific teams also played here. San Jose State Normal School played the 1900 football game against Stanford at Cycler’s Park, it would be 95 years before Stanford would play San Jose State in San Jose.
More research to come.
