Dunn Tire Park
Home of the Buffalo Bisons, AAA affiliate of the Cleveland Indians. Formerly known as Pilot Field and NorthAmericare Park.
Constructed in the hopes of attracting a National League exapnsion franchise to Buffalo. The ballpark was designed to allow for the addition of an upper deck if the effort to attract a team proved successful. However, expansion franchises were awarded in 1991 to Denver (Colorado Rockies) and Miami (Florida Marlins) instead of Buffalo.
