Why should you vote for Bosse Field?  Well first of all if you're from the Evansville area you know just how important the field is to us.  It's where our Evansville Otters play every summer, and where scenes from A League of Their Own were filmed.  But those aren't even the coolest parts of Bosse Field.  Did you know Bosse Field is the 3rd oldest working ballpark in America?  It's true! Bosse Field opened in 1915 and is only behind Chicago's Wrigley Field which opened in 1914 and Boston's Fenway Park which opened in 1912. So it's really cool that over 100 years later, Bosse Field is still in use, and draws crowds every summer.

I know I'm biased since I grew up in Evansville, but to me, there's nothing better on a warm summer night than watching baseball at Bosse Field.   Except for maybe enjoying a warm summer night at Bosse Field, and celebrating with an Otters win!
