About Bosse Field
Bosse Field is a baseball stadium in Evansville, Indiana, with room for 5,181 people. Opened on June 17, 1915, it was the first sports stadium in the United States to be owned by a municipality. Among ballparks still used regularly for professional baseball, only Fenway Park in Boston (1912) and Wrigley Field in Chicago (1914) are older.
Benjamin Bosse was Evansville's mayor from 1914 to 1922. Soon after he took office, he agreed with the family of Thomas Garvin to buy land for a park on the city's north side, but a deficit meant the city could not cover the whole $50,000 price. His solution was to sell part of the plot to the school board, which would build a stadium for school functions and for the city's baseball team, which Bosse co-owned. The board voted to give the field his name, in honor of the mayor. The dedication and opening game drew 8,082 fans, a Central League record, and Evansville won 4–0.
The Evansville Otters call the field home, along with high school and American Legion games. It was used as a football stadium in 1921 and 1922, when it was home to the NFL's Evansville Crimson Giants. Baseball Hall of Fame members including Chuck Klein, Hank Greenberg and Warren Spahn played for Evansville teams there during their minor league careers. In 1991, Columbia Pictures filmed numerous game scenes at the field for the 1992 film A League of Their Own.

- Four slim light towers
- Four slim lattice light towers rise above the grandstand roof, so print slowly with good cooling. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print.
- A long, low curved roof
- The grandstand is a long, low curve with a roof over its seating tiers. A larger print size keeps the seating rows, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the roof edge crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- Bosse Field is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

- Colors

- File format
