LEG 28 · ITEM 10 · RUN B #147 · VERIFIED AS OF NOVEMBER 2026
The county's sporting fame stands on two working grounds in South Bend, each famous by a verdict rendered elsewhere: the East Race Waterway — a 1,900-foot artificial whitewater course built in a re-dug nineteenth-century mill race in the middle of downtown — opened in 1984 as the first man-made whitewater course in North America, a Class II course that went on to host national-level competition, carried in university and parks records as host of the 2004 Olympic kayaking time trials. Its current state is part of its record: the city's visitor authority lists the East Race closed for the 2026 season for updates — a famous ground at rest, stated as of November 2026. Four Winds Field, the South Bend Cubs' ballpark (opened 1988 as Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium), is famous by ballot: Ballpark Digest's fan-voted Best of the Ballparks named it the best Class-A ballpark in the country in 2017, and, after the club's promotion, the best High-A ballpark in 2022 and again in 2023 — fame as a counted vote, renewed across two classifications.
On this ground the sporting-fame test is negative at fame size, and the working ground prints at its true size beside the verdicts: Penn Park's diamonds and the Osceola Baseball Softball Association's six hundred children, and Ferrettie/Baugo Creek County Park's eighteen-hole disc golf course, are working grounds with no trials designation, no national vote and no fame claim in any record reached. The leg does not manufacture one.
Verdict, item 10 — DUG (boundary verdicts told with mechanisms and current state; local fame test negative, printed).
