Victory Field
Victory Field is a minor league ballpark in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. It is home to the Indianapolis Indians of the International League.
Victory Field opened on July 11, 1996, with the Indians falling to the Oklahoma City 89ers, 5–3, in front of 14,667 fans. It replaced Bush Stadium, which had also been called Victory Field for 25 years from 1942 to 1967. The new park seated 13,300 fans (15,696 with lawn seating) when it was opened. However, in 2005, a 1,000-seat bleacher section was removed to make room for a picnic area. The name reflects the victory of the United States in World War II. The opening of Victory Field in 1996 was the catalyst for a revitalization of downtown Indianapolis.
A record 16,168 fans were in attendance on July 22, 2000, to witness the Indians lose to the Columbus Clippers 6–5. In 2023, the Indians drew an average home attendance of 7,842 in 71 home games, the 4th highest in Minor League Baseball.
The stadium hosted the 2001 Triple-A All-Star Game in which the Pacific Coast League All-Stars defeated the International League All-Stars, 9–5.
The Indiana Hoosiers baseball team has played one game each year at Victory Field since 2015.
The IHSAA uses Victory Field for its state final baseball matches.
In 2021, a six-person panel of American Institute of Architects (AIA) Indianapolis members identified the ballpark to be among the ten most "architecturally significant" buildings completed in the city since World War II.
Victory Field has been recognized as the "Best Minor League Ballpark in America" by Baseball America and Sports Illustrated. It was ranked the sixth-best by Baseball America in their 2015 survey.
