About Fans

Field

Fans Field, located between Eldorado Street and East Wood Street, is a residential and civic Decatur neighborhood with a ballpark landmark and a grid of tree-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Fans Field gates along Eldorado Street, where game-day foot traffic, concession-window chatter, and stadium lights set the tempo. Early-20th-century houses and small apartment buildings mix with institutional edges tied to nearby campuses and parks. Sidewalk routes connect to green space and the lakefront trail network. The area reads as practical and walkable, with seasonal rhythms shaped by the schedule at the park.
