The Indianapolis Indians are our AAA Minor League team, but going to a game is some of the most fun you can have! Tickets are dirt-cheap--expect to pay $7 for a bleacher seat, $12 for a reserved box seat (kids $1 cheaper). However, there are always ticket deals going on, sponsorship deals, and often people handing out extra tickets in front of Victory Field before games. Check out IndyIndians.com
for ticket prices.
The Indians call Victory Field home, and it is one heck of a ballpark. Sports Illustrated called it the best minor league park in the U.S., evident in the brick walls, retro stylings, and old-time feel. The ballpark is part of White River State Park, on the corner of West and Maryland. Get to the game early to try to score a street parking spot, or park in the nearby WRSP garage.
By getting to the game early, you can enjoy the pre-game activities. For kids, there is face-painting, pitching games, and arcade games. Almost every night is a promotion night, so the first fans will often receive free popcorn, drinks, bobblehead dolls, a schedule magnet, or a T-shirt. Throwback Thursdays have cheap beer and retro uniforms worn by the team. Friday night games feature post-game fireworks. And check the website for ticket discounts and further promotions. Every game is fun!
Looking for a cheap family evening or a fun date? Grab lawn seats for $7 and bring a picnic dinner, cooler, and a blanket to stretch out on the lawn, just past the outfield. You'll have a great view of the game (especially the home runs), plus you can save on concession food while you enjoy the sunset over the city skyline.
