Amarillo National Bank Sox Stadium, Baseball stadium in Amarillo, United States.
Amarillo National Bank Sox Stadium is a baseball facility in Amarillo featuring tiered seating and covered picnic areas along the baseline. The venue combines wooden benches with padded seats and provides multiple viewing angles throughout the stands.
Ground was broken in 1948 and Potter County Memorial Stadium opened in 1949. The Amarillo Gold Sox played there in the Texas League from 1959 to 1965 and again from 1976 to 1982. The Amarillo Dillas arrived in 1994, when the venue took the nickname Dilla Villa before Amarillo National Bank bought naming rights. The Texas AirHogs left after the 2016 season, citing deplorable field conditions.
The nickname Dilla Villa predates Amarillo National Bank's purchase of naming rights, going back to the Dillas' first appearance in Amarillo in 1994. The ballpark later carried the bank's name as the Amarillo National Bank Dilla Villa. The Dillas played in United League Baseball until 2010, and the Texas AirHogs left after the 2016 season.
The stadium has an upper and lower concourse, the lower one leading to the main grandstand with five concession stands, two bars and a souvenir shop. The upper concourse is reached from the upper level or by two staircases at the front. Smoking is banned except in a designated section behind the metal bleachers on the third base line.
