Previous facilities at this site: Athletic Park, YMCA Park, baseball field

I read today that the 1903 Washington football team played the 2nd overall and 1st Seattle leg of the Oregon–Washington football rivalry at this location on Capitol Hill:

"Washington won a hard-fought game, 6-5, on a rain-soaked, cold, windy Athletic Field – the modern-day site of Seattle U's Championship Field, on Capitol Hill."

Seems to have been variously called Athletic Park / Athletic Field or the YMCA Park.

Denny Field (Washington) had opened circa 1895; it's unclear why UW football was playing away from campus. Or if any other Husky games were played at this site.

The Dugdale Field article also mentions this location's baseball heritage: "The city's first ballpark was built in 1898 at 13th Avenue and Jefferson Street adjacent to a YMCA in the Central District; it was primarily used on weekdays, while Sunday games were played at Madison Park."

History article on this location: https://ba-kground.com/seattles-ymca-park-1895-1903/

This Championship Field article should be expanded to cover the previous athletic history at the site, or a new article created.
