el paso downtown ballpark

We might not have gotten a Six Flags instead of a ballpark, but El Paso City Council might be bringing a bunch of waterparks to neighborhoods across town.

What time does the El Paso Chihuahuas game start? Where can I park? Can I bring food to the ballpark? If you're headed downtown today for the sold-out Opening Day game at Southwest University Park, you probably have a lot of questions. Here are some of the answers to make your Opening Day experience a little easier...

My husband has always wanted to be a "Fireman." Not the kind that puts out fires in buildings, but the kind that puts out fires in baseball games. A "Fireman," or "Closer," as they are called today, is a relief pitcher who enters the game in the later innings in a tight spot, with men on base, and extinguish the rally. It's all pretty macho stuff.  Sunday at the 600

People used to sing, “Take me out to the ballgame, take me out with the crowd.  Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don’t care if I ever get back”.  Last night, the El Paso Chihuahuas debuted their ballpark menu, and it was way better than peanuts and Cracker Jack!  Such yummy!  Much goodness!

El Paso City Council looked at a proposal to triple fees on parking meters on West Franklin street and designate that street as a Baseball Park District during their regular meeting yesterday. What does that mean for you if you park downtown? It means you’ll be paying about as much to see a baseball game as you pay to see a UTEP football or basketball game.

City Rep. Eddie Holguin demanded yesterday that Paul Foster and Josh Hunt guarantee the 12 million dollars for their part of the ballpark build. He says he just wants to make sure that if MountainStar goes bankrupt that we wouldn't be stuck holding that bag. So I have a couple of questions for the venerable Mr. Holguin....

El Paso is in the process of building a new downtown ballpark - perhaps you've heard about it?  A couple of weeks ago, we found out that some of the design elements for the ballpark might not be built because of a lack of money.  But that has all changed, thanks to group that owns the baseball team.

‘El Paso ballpark costs may rise $10M’!  ‘City wants $10 million more for ballpark construction’!!   ‘The cost of the downtown AAA ballpark is about to go up. Way up’!!!  The downtown ballpark doesn’t need any help in causing people to freak out, but the El Paso media is doing it’s best to continue to stoke the freak out fires.  So what’s the real deal on the ‘additional 10 million dollars’ that c

There are so many cool prizes you can win by listening to the radio: CDs, concert tickets, T-shirts, bumper stickers, sports tickets, memorabilia, food certificates, etc. But there are few opportunities to win something that you can't find anywhere...

So, the City is going to build a Triple A ballpark in downtown El Paso - maybe you've heard something about that?  The City has also hired 3 artists to art-up the joint.  So the question is, what kind of art do you want to see at the ballpark?

The demolition of the 30 year old Insights Museum building began today.  We have a bird's eye view of the scene.

The two sides of the ballpark debate finally got a ruling yesterday from a state court in Austin. The City of El Paso got the go ahead for it’s plans to build a minor league ballpark in downtown El Paso because the judge in the case said the group opposed to the ballpark didn’t prove their case that the City shouldn’t be allowed to issue voter approved bonds to build the ballpark. So is it time to
