The team is named "Indians" because of the similarity between that name and the named of their state, Indiana. However, the team also uses Native American (or "Indian") themes in their logos.[2]
The Indians have played at a stadium called Victory Field since 1996. Before this, they played at Owen J. Bush Stadium from 1931 to 1996 and at two stadiums called Washington Park from 1902 to 1931.
