Perry Stadium

Perry Stadium was built in 1931 for $350,000 by Osborn Engineering, the same firm that designed Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium, and was named for club owner Norman Perry's brother Jim, who died in a 1929 plane crash. It hosted Negro league teams including the Indianapolis ABCs, American Giants, Athletics, and Crawfords through the 1930s and the Indianapolis Clowns from 1944 to 1962. Renamed Victory Field after a fan contest during World War II, it became Owen J. Bush Stadium in 1967 and served the Indianapolis Indians until 1996; the building was converted into apartments in 2014.
