Hoosier Field, home of the Indiana Tribe

Hoosier Field is standing on its last leg. The covered stadium was built in the 1960s for the minor league South Bend Celtics. It was converted to an all-turf playing surface, with the exception of the cutouts around the bases, in the 80s, and is the last of its kind. The field plays bigger than it is, as well--the artificial turf combined with large gaps have produced 27 inside-the-park- homeruns since the Tribe moved in in 1979, by far the most in that span. Fans love the place because of nostalgia and because of the success the team enjoyed there, but the truth is that Indiana needs a new ballpark.

A covered stadium from the 60's? Does that mean I drew heavily on the Astrodome? Yes, yes I did. This one presented some new challenges to me, as the parks I've done before have all been defined more by the shape of the field than the shape of the stadium itself, so the stands got a little funky on me here.
