Indy's massive Midwest Sports Complex has a buyer, $3.9 million sale pending

The fate of one of Indy's biggest recreational sports complexes is unknown -- as a sale is pending on the 62-acre site that features eight softball diamonds, eight beach volleyball courts and four championship-size soccer fields.

Midwest Sports Complex, 7509 New Augusta Road, was put on the market in August 2017 for $4.95 million. The listing on Realtor.com shows the site has a pending offer for $3.9 million.

While Midwest's listing agent Josh Ember confirmed there is an "accepted pending offer," he said he could not give any details on the prospective buyer or future use of the site.

Property details on the listing promote the 62 acres as "ideal for residential, multi-family or senior developments. All utilities to site. 9-hole golf course on property and on-site retention in place. Pike township schools."

When asked about the possibility that the pending buyer is planning to raze the sports portions of the property and turn it into a retirement community, Ember said he cannot divulge any information on the prospective buyer.

"Any time you have theses big complex deals, there are a lot of variables," said Ember, with F.C. Tucker. "Not until it’s closed is it public."  

In addition to adult recreational leagues and tournaments for volleyball, softball, baseball, soccer and more, Midwest is host to youth sporting events. It also features cornhole tournaments and kickball. 

But it's not all physical play. In 2011, Midwest added a restaurant. The Fishbowl Pub today is a full-service bar and grill.

IndyStar could not immediately reach Midwest's owner.
