Finishing Highway 41 through Terre Haute, Indiana

Last time in the trek, it was approaching the Indiana State University campus in Terre Haute, Indiana.  So this post will tour some campus sights, including one that any sports fan visiting would have as a must-see.


So now we take a turn down Cherry Street (off highway for a few blocks). You'll see why.

This is why. Arguably Terre Haute's most famous product (though he was originally from French Lick).  It's in front of the trees, so zoom in.


(For those of who don't know, it's a statue of legendary basketball superstar Larry Bird, who played at ISU before his pro career with the Boston Celtics.)


Let's get back to the main highway now.

This should be the stately tree-lined entrance to Indiana State University. But like I said, construction.



I accidentally found this image of the track at the Gibson track and field complex, right on the banks of the Wabash River. It's blue (like ISU's colors). On Google Maps, it's also inaccurately located.



A fairly good look at the campus, with practice softball field (Price Field) through the trees.



Now you can see the main softball field (also called Price Field).



The baseball stadium (Sycamore Stadium) can be seen here.



Next time, which will be soon, we'll move past the campus.
