Those Springfield Park photos just demonstrate the huge amount of land it sat on. Far more than at Ewood, Deepdale, Turf Moor, Valley Parade and Bloomfield etc etc. Quite easily fit a 20,000 stadium on that site with extra car parking. Access to pop side from each side. Access to Shevvy and Town ends as at New Springfield.
 
Access to the stadium was the issue. Imagine 25000 people walking down 1st, 2nd and 3rd Avenue after the match. A recipe for carnage.

Not sure the stadium would have been configured to hold so many

PS did you ever go to the Baseball ground ect loads of grounds surrounded by houses
