We need to develop some tourist stuff around the Historic Chinese Laundry that we have instead of an arena.

Looks like Main Event & Panera Bread may be headed to the empty dirt lot near Airway & off I-10.

"Universidad Auton Oma" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
If you are going to drag Juarez into the demographics in a formal pitch, at least have someone that speaks the language proofread it.

I just noticed Cohen Stadium is gone.

 

[Dmanminer]

Torn down 2 years ago.

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

I never go to that part of the city. I know it’s gone because I haven’t seen advertisements for car shows there or news articles about the canopies being torn due to wind.

 

[MINER.JAY]

I’m a fan of main event. Cool to have one here

Didn't they put one of the new water parks near there?

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

Yeah they did, but I haven’t seen it. If you google map Cohen Stadium, you can see the outline of the stadium and see the water park being built.

I still have my ticket stub from the Randy Johnson game. (Standing room only.)

Same! Loved Diablos promos; baseball bats, hats, and more!

I remember that. Quite the crowd. Wasn’t long after that they were no longer an affiliate of any MLB club.

Ever go to the Dudley? Those promotions were legendary

Dudley Field was awesome. I remember the 10cent hot dog and 25cent beer nights. LEGENDARY indeed, amigo!

John Jaha. Gary Sheffield, Greg Vaughn, and the San Diego Famous Chicken. They were the AA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers

Gawd, those were the days. Me and my little league teammates walking to the game, walking back home afterwards through the cemeteries, stopping to check out what the druggies and borachos were doing in the open graves... And those names you brought up; holy smokes! GREAT memories!

 

[Dmanminer]

Loved Dudley field. Had season tickets so you got the promo when you walked in the gate for season ticket holders only, Best part was having the Strelz announce the games. And the beer vendors knowing how long it took you to finish your beer!

Walking to the game? You lived down there? That was a tough area back in the day. I bet you’ve got some stories

“1. 25 Cent Beer Night After Drinking Age Lowered: "Beer Night went from a fun night for adults to just stupidity with 18-19-year-olds. An 18-year-old could come out and for 50 cents become obnoxious. We had to card everyone. It was a nightmare. It took the family away from Friday nights. We stopped in '88."”

 

[FarWestTexas]

Y’all ever try the pitching radar machine at Cohen? Trying to impress your friends or lady friend, only to be humbled that your four seam fastball was under the US 54 speed limit?!?

They never had field tarp to cover the diamond except for the mound, not even the bullpens.⚾

Dudley field was horrible. I remember playing flag football in that area. I bet Denvernowins doesn't even know where Dudley field was located??

 

[axingfools1]

Dudley field was cool, but the field was lopsided. Played a few games there in high school.

Can't get exact estimate but I swear Dudley Field home plate is the African Lion section of the Zoo after looking at old photos and google maps?

 

[FiliUTEP]

I hear there is also a cat cafe. Who wants to go??

I just noticed that Photon that was on the corner of I-10 and Geronimo by Basset Center on the is gone. What happened ?

 

[jdubb66]

My friends and I would go every Sunday. I think that was 10 cent hotdog and quarter beer night. We would stand in hotdog and beer lines until about the 6th inning but Strelzin would keep everyone entertained. Great times.

If you guys haven't seen the Battered Bastards of Baseball, I highly recommend it. Kurt Russell who played for the Sun Kings here in the early 70s figures prominently along with his father. Great film. Lots of ties to El Paso.
