Bombers raffle Pat McAfee arrest SUV at League Stadium
The Bombers put an IPD Ford Interceptor tied to Pat McAfee's 2010 arrest on the line at League Stadium, and McAfee is disputing the SUV's backstory.
The Dubois County Bombers handed every fan age 18 and over a free raffle ticket at League Stadium and turned a retired Indianapolis Police Department Ford Interceptor into the prize, calling it a “rolling piece of local history” and a “barely running used car.” All proceeds from extra tickets sold during the game benefited the Bombers.
The SUV once transported Pat McAfee to the police station after his Oct. 20, 2010 public-intoxication arrest in Indianapolis. Police said McAfee took a pre-dawn swim in the Indianapolis Canal before officers took him into custody, and McAfee was suspended by the Indianapolis Colts for one game after the incident. He was also quoted telling officers, “I am drunk,” as he tried to explain why he was wet.
McAfee disputed the Bombers’ account of the vehicle’s history, adding a celebrity clash to what was already one of the club’s most eye-catching promotions. The Bombers leaned into the stunt as part of the team’s broader marketing style, which has featured unusual theme nights and helped the club earn the Prospect League’s 2025 Stadium Experience of the Year.
League Stadium at 203 S Cherry St. in Huntingburg has become a regular site for fundraisers and special events, including the Big League Baseball Classic, which returned there on Aug. 9, 2025, under the banner of Dubois County Bombers Charities and Visit Dubois County.
