Dickey-Stephens Park, Baseball park in North Little Rock, United States
Dickey-Stephens Park is a baseball park in North Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. It has a capacity of 7,300, including 5,800 fixed seats and 1,500 on the berms, and serves as the home of the Arkansas Travelers.
The ballpark opened in 2007 as a replacement for Ray Winder Field in Little Rock. Most of its cost was paid by the public after voters approved a temporary sales tax increase in 2005.
The berms are a popular spot for families, who spread blankets and watch the game from the grass. The name honors two pairs of Arkansas brothers: baseball players Bill and George Dickey, and businessmen Jackson T. and W. R. Stephens.
The ballpark is easy to reach by car, with parking areas nearby, and the main entrance is at street level. Once inside, the concourse wraps around the field, so you can walk all the way around and choose between seats and grassy berms.
A tragic event at the park led to a change in baseball rules: after a coach was struck by a line drive in 2007, Major League Baseball required base coaches to wear helmets. The ballpark was built in just 426 days.
