Indianapolis Perry Stadium was located in Indianapolis Indiana and was the home field for the Indianapolis Indians (AA) from 1931-1996. The stadium was named for Norm Perry who built the stadium in 1931. It was renamed Victory Field in 1942 and then Bush Stadium after Donnie Bush who had served as president of the Indians from 1955-1969. The stadium was home to the Indianapolis Indians as well as a few Negro League teams including the Indianapolis Clowns. Bush Stadium had ivy growing on its brick walls as with Wrigley Field and Forbes Field. In 1987 it was dressed up in different ways to be used as the stand-in for both Comiskey Park and Crosley Field during the filming of Eight Men Out.

The offered single seat has been beautifully refurbished and affixed to a modern support base making it fully functional.

Includes a Letter of Provenance from The Newport Sports Museum.
