League Stadium is a baseball stadium in Huntingburg, Indiana, United States, located at 203 South Cherry Street. Originally built in 1894, League Stadium is the home of the Dubois County Bombers of the collegiate summer Prospect League[2] and formerly the Dubois County Dragons of the independent Frontier League. The Southridge Raiders, an Indiana High School Athletic Association 3A baseball team, also use the field.[3] The Dragons moved to Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2003.[4] The ballpark has a capacity of 2,783 people.[5]
