The championship bout of The Roaring Twenties Heavyweight Extravaganza pitting top seed Jack Dempsey against No. 2 Gene Tunney, will take place at Boyle's Thirty Acres, an 80,000-seat wooden stadium built for the Jack Dempsey-Georges Carpentier fight in 1921.
The enormous bowl was located in Jersey City, N.J., at the corner of Montgomery Street and Cornelison Avenue -- or so wikipedia would have us believe.
Other fights at the venue included Benny Leonard's defeat of Lew Tendler, Luis Firpo's knockout of Jess Willard, which earned him his shot at Dempsey, and Harry Wills' defeat of Firpo.
