The Lafayette Aviators are a summer collegiate baseball team based in Lafayette, Indiana. They are a member of the summer collegiate Prospect League. The Aviators play at the 3,500-seat Loeb Stadium in Columbian Park in Lafayette.
The Aviators franchise was originally based in Jamestown, New York, where it operated as the Jamestown Jammers during the 2015 season. The Jammers' owners, Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based MKE Sports & Entertainment, opted to move its Prospect League team to Lafayette and establish a new Jammers team in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League in 2016, with distance (Jamestown was well outside the Prospect League's Midwestern footprint while the PCPBL's footprint was much closer, in Central New York) being cited as the primary reason for the move.
