The Spokane Indians, a Single A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, play at Avista Stadium, which was built 1958, seating 7,162 and is adjacent to the Spokane Interstate Fairgrounds. It is an older stadium, but it does have a row of skyboxes around the top. We were a little late, because we didn't realize that the game started at 6:30pm. Spokane has the highest attendance in the Northwest League. Tonight, a Wednesday, there were 3,371 in attendance. The Brett Brothers, including George Brett who played for Kansas City, are the principal owners. Tonight they played the Tri-City Dust Devils. It was a good game with the Indians being the winners 5-2. The box score was Tri-City R-2, H-8, E-2 and Indians R-5, H-8, E-2. The field lines are RF 335, RC-365, CF-398, LC-368, LF-335. The mascot is Otto the dinosaur. Otto is wearing medical scrubs for a race where two boys had to put on medical clothing. Everyone in the section where we were sitting was the recipient of a Texaco or Shell antenna ball because our bird, the ostrich, won the run around the bases. New Logo 2012. 2013--Affiliated with Colorado. High A playing in the West League.
