The Strangest Stadium in Baseball might be Parque Zaragoza in Austin, Texas. It is home to the Austin Weirdos of the Pecos League. If you are looking for a unique ballpark experience, this might be the place to see a game.
However, Weirdos management wants to make Austin its home for the foreseeable future and perhaps add a little flare to the proceedings that could include pre-game concerts, a grill, and a mascot for all games. If you are a fan of bare-bones baseball, then this will be your cup of tears for now.
The ballpark consists of one small wooden grandstand that is covered but does not wrap around like a traditional baseball structure. It is said that it was erected over 70 years ago but feels somewhat older than a 1940’s era edifice. There is an old wooden sign that reads the name of the stadium that appears to be rotting away.
The rest of the ballpark feels more like a city field that consists of large trees behind the visitors’ dugout and an incomplete fence down the right field line. The home team will set up lawn chairs to view the game, while the away team will prop themselves up on the thick tree trunks protected by its shade of leaves.
There are also a lot of open spaces down the right field side where a few fans bring their lawn chairs to enjoy the contest, much like a collegiate game during the school year. The team sells a sharp-looking and very well-made cap that is both trippy and spacey. However, no other merchandise is available at the game.

A man after my own heart! I have been to 184 pro ball parks around the world but have yet to have gone to a Pecos League game--good on ya!

You know you are a baseball diehard when you take in a game in the pico’s league. However, I did go to another venue this summer, and it was quite nice. The Austin ballpark is not ideal for professional baseball, but it appears that they’ll be back next year. Thanks for watching and if you can subscribe, I would appreciate it.

If Austin had anywhere close to a decent venue, I could see the Weirdos being the Savannah Bananas of Texas.

Here’s a problem with Downs Field it’s not own by Austin parks or any of the former Austin Black Senators relatives it’s owned by a millionaire prick who runs a Metro league and doesn’t allowed anyone to play on the field unless you pay a high fee on his field and don’t play anywhere else and also he doesn’t allow 14 U 16 you or any summer ball on the field the good thing is his contract expires on September this year so hopefully will get the field for the people and to the Austin weirdos next year

I agree, this was a bizarre ballpark for even the Pecos League. The giant tree stump was interesting, but it's no wonder the Weirdos decided to relocate to a new stadium this season!
