 For each season, the franchise used Forepaugh Park as their home field.

 The new owner also thought the team could generate larger revenue from a bigger stadium, so they decided to move the team to his stadium, Eastern Park.
 Games would be split between the new facility and old Washington Park during the 1891 season and the team would move full-time in 1892.
 With all the turmoil, the team fell back into the pack, finishing the season in sixth place.
