Bush Stadium, opened in 1931, had been the host of games in several leagues and hosted several event. It was home to teams in the American Association, International League, Pacific Coast League and the Negro American League in baseball, and a team in the Continental Football League. Its last usage was as a dirt track for auto racing in the late 1990s after the Indianapolis Indians vacated the facility in 1996.
It was known as Perry Stadium when built, later being renamed Victory Field in 1942, and finally renamed Bush Stadium in 1967. It has hosted baseball for the Pan American Games and the National Sports Festival. It even served as a filming location for the movie Eight Men Out.
Many future Major League Baseball stars came through these gates to play baseball during its 60+ years span. Though not as historic as Yankee Stadium or venerated Wrigley Field or Fenway Park, it is still a interesting decaying part of baseball history, and certainly minor league baseball history. Now in 2011, grass, weeds, rust, broken bricks and concrete overwhelm Bush Stadium.
As for the future, Bush Stadium will be turned into into a 136 loft apartment complex called Stadium Lofts. The project also includes several thousand square feet of retail and office space. Construction begins March 2012. Soon, it will be partially knocked down with only its shell remaining.
The wollemi pine reaches back to prehistoric times. It was thought to be extinct but was discovered in an isolated valley in the Wollemi National Park 200km from Sydney. The location is secret but a number of cuttings were taken from the original trees and have been grown and are now available to the general public.
