Subterranean Field House

Mark Patrick of Indianapolis wanted to re-create the field house experiences he enjoyed as a high school kid growing up in Indiana. When he designed his new home he decided to build a field house of his own — underground.

Patrick's sports paradise includes a 60-foot long baseball pitching tunnel, a batting cage, golf chipper and half-court basketball court for playing a little one-on-one.

Patrick decorated it from top to bottom using vintage advertising, faux brick and bright colors making it an exact reproduction of the real gymnasiums of his youth.

His son Drew, a top pitcher in his summer league, uses the basement for indoor practice while his mother cheers him on.
