Old Bush Stadium

Indianapolis, Ind.
Sunday, July 23, 2006

Instead of turning right when I exited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, I turned right. A few minutes later I passed Bush Stadium, former home of the Indianapolis Indians minor league baseball team.

There’s something cool about old ballparks…

The Indians were out of town during my two visits, so I wasn't able to visit their newer home, Victory Field.

I did do a bit of research on Bush Stadium. Seems after the Indians played their last game there on July 3, 1996, it became 16th Street Speedway from 1997-99 — yes, a dirt racing track.

And that was the end of my trip. Back home to San Diego.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
