Bishop John M. D’Arcy Stadium is a 3,500-seat multi-purpose stadium in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The facility is located on the campus of the University of Saint Francis and is named in honor of Bishop John M. D’Arcy, who served as diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana. The stadium is primarily used for American football and soccer. It is home to the Saint Francis Cougars football and soccer teams. The facility opened in 1998 when the Cougars played their first season of football. At that time, it was referred to as Cougar Stadium. In 2003, the stadium was given its present name to honor the then-current bishop of the local Catholic diocese, John M. D'Arcy.

Fort Wayne, Indiana
Fort Wayne, Indiana

Fort Wayne is a city in and the county seat of Allen County, Indiana, United States. Located in northeastern Indiana, the city is 18 miles (29 km) west of the Ohio border and 50 miles (80 km) south of the Michigan border. The city's population was 263,886 as of the 2020 census, making it the second-most populous city in Indiana after Indianapolis, and the 83rd-most populous city in the United States. It is the principal city of the Fort Wayne metropolitan area, consisting of Allen and Whitley counties which had an estimated population of 423,038 as of 2021. Fort Wayne is the cultural and economic center of northeastern Indiana. In addition to the two core counties, the combined statistical area (CSA) includes Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Noble, Steuben, and Wells counties, with an estimated population of 649,105 in 2021.Fort Wayne was built in 1794 by the United States Army under the direction of American Revolutionary War general Anthony Wayne, the last in a series of forts built near the Miami village of Kekionga. Named in Wayne's honor, the European-American settlement developed at the confluence of the St. Joseph, St. Marys, and Maumee rivers, known originally as Fort Miami, a trading post constructed by Jean Baptiste Bissot, Sieur de Vincennes around 1706. The modern city was platted in 1823 following its revitalization after the War of 1812 and its siege. It underwent tremendous growth after completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal and advent of the railroad. Once a booming manufacturing town located in what became known as the Rust Belt, Fort Wayne's economy in the 21st century is based upon distribution, transportation and logistics; healthcare, professional and business services; leisure and hospitality, and financial services. The city is a center for the defense industry which employs 1-2% of the population.Fort Wayne was an All-America City Award recipient in 1983, 1998, 2009, and 2021. The city also received an Outstanding Achievement City Livability Award by the U.S. Conference of Mayors in 1999.

Kekionga Ball Grounds

The Kekiongas have a splendid ground for playing upon this year. They have six acres enclosed with a high, tight board fence, measuring 1,900 feet lineal, and seats for the convenience of spectators, with canopy overhead. The Kekionga Ball Grounds was a baseball field in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Built in 1870, it was located on the site of the former Camp Allen, a Union Army base during the civil war, north of what is now Camp Allen Park, and named for Kekionga, the former capital of the Miami tribe which was located at the site of modern Fort Wayne. The precise size and orientation of the Kekionga Ball Grounds is lost, but it was in area on the left bank of the St. Marys River now bounded by Mechanics Street, Elm Street, Cherry Street, Camp Allen Drive, and Fair Street.The first National Association game was played at the Kekionga Ball Grounds on May 4, 1871. This was the first professional baseball league game, the first professional league game in any sport in America, and possibly the first game of Major League Baseball (if one credits the National Association as a major league, which some people do and some don't). The Fort Wayne Kekiongas defeated Cleveland by a score of 2–0. Bobby Mathews pitched the shutout for the Kekiongas; the umpire was John Boake.A monument to this first game was placed in 2017.At the time of the 1871 game, a covered grandstand called the "Grand Dutchess" provided spectator accommodations. The Grand Dutchess was open only to women and men accompanying them. (Some sources give "Grand Duchess" as the name of the ballfield itself, but contemporary records contradict this.) The Grand Duchess burned to the ground on November 5, 1871.The Kekiongas folded before the end of the 1871 season, so the Kekionga Ball Grounds only hosted eight other major league games.

Jefferson Pointe
Jefferson Pointe

Jefferson Pointe Shopping Center is an open-air lifestyle center in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Jefferson Pointe covers the wedge of land bordered between Apple Glen Boulevard, West Jefferson Boulevard, and Illinois Road on the southwest side of Fort Wayne. Major tenants include Burlington Coat Factory, Bed Bath & Beyond, AMC Theatres IMAX, Marshalls, Michaels, and Von Maur. The center was originally developed by RED Development, but is currently managed by UCR CBRE. Phase one of the center opened in 2001, with the second phase opening a year later. Upon opening, a small number of stores with a presence at Glenbrook Square such as Victoria's Secret, Buckle, GameStop, Justice, Aéropostale, Motherhood Maternity, Francescas, Payless ShoeSource, and Bath & Body Works opened second Fort Wayne locations at Jefferson Pointe. Most stayed, but some like The Children's Place, American Eagle Outfitters, and Lane Bryant went back to strictly locating at Glenbrook. Dress Barn, Christopher & Banks and Barnes & Noble eventually moved to the new Orchard Crossing strip center. Despite these losses, occupancy at Jefferson Pointe remains high, with recent additions like Marshalls, Petshion Boutique, The Nut House, White House Black Market, a relocated Old Navy, and an art gallery. Jefferson Pointe was home to the first Barnes & Noble, Panera Bread, and ULTA in Fort Wayne. The center also houses the only IMAX theater in the region, which was added in 2011, and is home to the first Vera Bradley company-owned store in Indiana (Fort Wayne is home to the brand). Jefferson Pointe also features market-exclusive stores for Chico's, Eddie Bauer, White House Black Market, Soma Intimates, Bed Bath & Beyond, LOFT, and Talbots. From the center's opening until 2012, Jefferson Pointe had a small food court. However, it was not popular as Jefferson Pointe had many other dining options in and surrounding the center. The food court was replaced by Tucanos Brazilian Grill and a children's play area. Other restaurants at Jefferson Pointe include Biaggi's, Smokey Bones, Flat Top Grill, Cold Stone Creamery, McAlister's Deli, Hardee's, Chick-fil-A, Eddie Merlot's, and Beer Barrel Pizza. Because of its location across Apple Glen Boulevard, Apple Glen Crossing is often considered to be a part of Jefferson Pointe, even though it is not and has different owners. This strip center is anchored by Walmart, Kohl's, Best Buy, and PetSmart.
