Stadium Destroyed, Reborn

December 20th, 2011 - Leave a comment »

Historic Bush Stadium in Indianapolis is being dismantled to become condos. But the lost landmark will be better remembered, thanks to an innovative project.

As covered by the Urbanophile:

They’ve done it again. People for Urban Progress has partnered with Indianapolis Fabrications and Ecolaborative to re-purpose the seating from the now closed Bush Stadium minor league ballpark for bus stop seating and other purposes. This might seem inferior for places that have honest to goodness bus shelters. But in Indianapolis there is very little in the way of furnishings at bus stops, so this is an upgrade.

Failure is the secret to success. Once again, an organization has recognized that the end of an important landmark presents a unique opportunity to celebrate our heritage. If Bush Stadium had not been marked for demolition, this group would never have had the inspiration for this brilliant idea. Congratulations to People for Urban Progress and the rest of the folks working on this project.
