List of Texas League stadiums

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr Pepper Ballpark, home of the Frisco RoughRiders.
Busch Stadium, former home of the Houston Buffaloes.

This is a list of Texas League stadiums used during the league's existence from 1902 to 2020. It does not include stadiums used by teams of the Texas League (TL) in existence from 1888 to 1890, which the league does not list as part of its franchise history.[1]

There are 67 stadiums known to have been used by the league located among 36 municipalities. Of the stadiums with known opening dates, the oldest to have hosted TL games was Gaston Park (1886), home of the Dallas Steers/Giants; the newest was Hodgetown (2019), home of the Amarillo Sod Poodles. The highest known seating capacity was 21,000 at Turnpike Stadium, the Dallas–Fort Worth Spurs home. The stadiums with the lowest known capacity were League Park (Longview, Texas) and Trojan Park Athletic Field, the respective homes of the Longview Cannibals and Tyler Sports, which each seated only 2,500.
