A growing hub of nightlife and entertainment
The Stadium District is the east half of downtown Lansing, with just as much nightlife and entertainment as the city center. Named for its minor league baseball stadium, the district is home to a corridor of museums, live music venues and some of the best that Lansing has to offer for bars and breweries. "It's a small district, but it's really packed in with a lot of entertainment options," says Sara Shultz, the executive director at the local R. E. Olds Transportation Museum. "The Stadium District is being developed to draw in visitors from all over Lansing and beyond." Although the Stadium District can be loud and busy, there's nowhere else in the city with the same current of energy and excitement.
The Stadium District is located close to downtown Lansing.
The Stadium District is named for Jackson Field, a centrally located stadium.

Community at The Stadium District's biggest hits
Since its opening in 1996, Jackson Field, home of the Lansing Lugnuts, has been a cornerstone of the community's identity. Residents often have a season pass to games, and local businesses have game day deals. Some apartments even boast stadium views — from shatter-proof windows. But it's not all about ball games. The Impression 5 Science Center is beloved by kids for its interactive exhibits, and the Riverwalk Theatre invites locals to audition for its next production. The R.E. Old Transportation Museum, which celebrates Lansing's automotive history, plans a free annual car show and seasonal events like a spring break scavenger hunt. "R. E. Olds has been making a strong effort in recent years to reach out into the community," Shultz says. "We're absolutely part of the revitalization The Stadium District is going through."

The best in bars and breweries
The Stadium District blends old and new when it comes to entertainment. Lansing Brewing Company, whose origin dates back to the 1890s, has a full menu and 20 local taps, and the Nuthouse Sports Grill hosts live music concerts through the summer. New breweries and food options have been moving in recent years, like Lansing Shuffle, a food court-style meeting space with shuffleboard lanes, as well as live music, karaoke and trivia events. "The walkability between us, the stadium, downtown and the waterfront is really cool," says Julie Sailus, the program & culture director for Lansing Shuffle. "And we are part of the downtown social district — which means that on Friday and Saturday nights, people can walk around the whole area with alcoholic beverages."
The Stadium District includes Lansing Shuffle, a newer building with a variety of restaurants.

Outdoor attractions along the Grand River
The neighborhood feels quite urban, but some of the best views are along the Grand River, bordered by the Lansing River Trail. Together, the river and paved trail meander through downtown to offer kayakers, cyclists and strollers a play-by-play of Lansing's greatest hits. The Stadium District's section of the trail is home to Rotary Park, which was renovated in 2019 to include a sandy beach and a plaza lit by string lights. It's a popular spot for those participating in the downtown social district festivities. And away from the water, Oak Park's hilly terrain makes it a neighborhood favorite for sledding in the winter.

Capital City Market and CATA buses
A car is optional in the bustling city streets of the Stadium District. All the main attractions of downtown Lansing are within walking distance; even Old Town is just a mile away along the Lansing River Trail. With the opening of Capital City Market in 2020, the Stadium District now has direct access to fresh groceries. "Shout out to the Capital City Market, that's been huge," Shultz says. "They have a really comprehensive grocery selection — if you are looking for a specialty cheese, they probably have it." When winters get too cold for walking or biking, the CATA bus system provides reliable service towards the capital building and out to Michigan State University. The neighborhood also borders Sparrow Specialty Hospital, a major employer. For longer trips, the Capital Region International Airport is just 5 miles north and is accessible via a bus line as well.

A few historic homes among modern apartments
Around 80 percent of residents here rent, and with two new apartment complexes opening in the spring of 2024, that percentage is on the rise. Along with brick-walled condominiums and modern apartment buildings, The Stadium District is also home to established single-family homes from the early 1900s. With Tudor, Colonial and American Foursquare styles, these vintage properties are often rented out as duplexes. However, for those looking to own, properties needing major renovations can start at as low as $50,000, and move-in-ready homes can get up to $150,000. Condo options range from $150,000 up to $250,000.
