"On a muggy August evening the heat and humidity and humongous Texas-sized mosquitoes mad the Colt .45s home a lot like playing ball in Vietnam." - Ballparks of North America by Michael Benson.

There were bleachers in left and right field, but nothing in center. The original public address announcer at this ballpark was Dan Rather, earning $10 a game. This park was built as a temporary solution to house the Houston expansion team since Buff Stadium was considered unsuitable. After two years, the park was dismantled and moved to Gomez Palacio, Mexico to be home to the Torreon Cotton Growers.
