Indy baseball stadium turned apartment complex goes viral
A unique Indianapolis apartment complex with a storied history caught the attention of social media over the weekend, including ESPN’s SportsCenter and 24/7 Sports.
The hype started with a post from a leader at Kenji Capital, a real estate and investment firm, that called Stadium Lofts, “one of the most unique residential conversions” they’d seen.
Historic Bush Stadium on the city’s west side (named for Owen “Donie” Bush) “hosted Pan Am Games baseball in 1987 and was a stand-in for Chicago’s Comiskey Park in the movie “Eight Men Out,” an IndyStar article from 2013 noted.
Once the teams that played there migrated to Victory Field in downtown, the 16th Street Speedway operated at the site.
Then came an innovative vision for the field by Core Redevelopment, which planned 138 lofts and 144 flats.
