With it's dark gray, almost black (steel colored?) upper deck luxury box area, even
darker seating and huge footprint, U.S. Steel Yard has a very similar look to
the Dell Diamond in Round Rock Texas. The success of the franchise will depend
heavily on the facility. The families of Northern Indiana hadn't had a
professional team to call their own since 1995, when the East Chicago Conquistadors
played in vintage E.J. Block Stadium. That team had drawn an average of 94
fans a game to the ballpark in support. |
