Historic Hamilton: Hamilton AAA Grounds Traditional Cache

Historic Hamilton will be a series of caches that serve to bring cachers to historic places in and around the City of Hamilton. These caches can be placed by anyone, and are not limited to one owner. If you know of a historic place in the City of Hamilton to which you would like to bring people, feel free to add it to the series!

Cache is a bison tube that contains only the logbook. Please bring your own writing instrument to sign, and replace as found.

The Hamilton Amateur Athletic Association Grounds (also known as the Hamilton AAA Grounds) is a park located on the north side of Charlton Avenue West, between Locke Street South and Queen Street South, inHamilton, Ontario, Canada. The park served as home to the Hamilton Tigers from 1872-1949. In 1950, the Tigers amalgamated with the Hamilton Wildcats to create the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The new team became the permanent tenants of Ivor Wynne Stadium, and played their home games there until 2012. The Tiger-Cats joined the Canadian Football League as an inaugural member in 1958. A plaque outlining much of the grounds' history (including information on the Grey Cup games played there) is located next to the main entrance on Charlton.

Congratulations to Custodio's on the FTF!
