More than 70,000 people filled Yankee Stadium on 22 June 1938 and around 70 million more listened in the United States alone. Schmeling had beaten Louis in 1936 and Nazi officials had made the German a symbol. Louis knocked him down three times and the fight was stopped after two minutes and four seconds of the first round. The old stadium stood here until 2008 and the site is now a public park.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
