Opened in 1931, Bush Stadium was the longtime home of baseball in Indianapolis, serving as the home of the Indianapolis Indians. It opened as Perry Stadium in 1931 and was renamed Victory Field in 1942 to honor the United States victory in World War II. The ballpark was renamed Bush Stadium in honor of former player, manager and team president Owen J. Bush on August 30, 1967. The stadium is notable for hosting the 1987 Pan American Games baseball games and standing-in for Comiskey Park in the filming of "Eight Men Out," a 1988 sports drama film recounting the 1919 MLB Black Sox Scandal.

In 1996, the Indianapolis Indians vacated Bush Stadium for the new Victory Field downtown. The facility was later re-purposed into the 16th Street Speedway. In 2013, the original grandstands were converted to apartment homes, opening as Stadium Flats.
