Cohen Stadium, Baseball stadium in Northeast El Paso, United States
Cohen Stadium is a baseball facility in Northeast El Paso that opened in 1990 with seating for roughly 9,700 spectators. The venue features a grass playing field, a canopy structure for sun protection, and sits near the Franklin Mountains.
The venue was built in 1990 and replaced the earlier Dudley Field as the home for the El Paso Diablos. After more than 25 years of use, it closed in 2019 when the team left the city.
The stadium was named for Andy and Syd Cohen, brothers who grew up in El Paso and both played in Major League Baseball. Andy, an infielder, later managed the El Paso Texans; Syd was a pitcher. Their names tied the ballpark to the city's own baseball lineage.
The stadium no longer exists: demolition began on June 5, 2019, under a contract awarded April 2, 2019 and set for completion in 120 days. Nothing of the ballpark remains to visit; the site by the Patriot Freeway, next to the Franklin Mountains, is slated to become the Cohen Entertainment District with a water park, open spaces, shops and restaurants.
