About Victory Field 

Baseball is often called “America’s favorite pastime.” Sports like basketball, football, and soccer are undoubtedly popular, but the game of baseball holds a special place in American culture. Cities like Indianapolis, Indiana lend credence to this claim – cities with multiple baseball clubs and baseball stadiums. Victory Field is one of Indianapolis’s most popular stadiums and one of the city’s newest. 

Victory Field officially opened on July 11th, 1996, and has remained a staple of Indianapolis ever since. Interestingly enough, there were actually two stadiums that shared the name Victory Field for a time. The Owen J. Busch Stadium was the first to hold the Victory Field named. It served as Indianapolis’s main baseball field for years. The Indianapolis Indians even called the Busch stadium home for about 50 years or so. However, the stadium was named Victory Field after the Allies successfully defeated the Axis during World War II. By 1996, the Victory Field ballpark opened. By 2011, Busch stadium had relinquished its Victory Field moniker and was transformed into an apartment complex, leaving only one Victory Field in Indianapolis.
