Heroes

The $1.5 million Whataburger Little Heroes Baseball Field at Pike Park, which opened in April 2005, is the finest single-diamond youth baseball park in the Dallas Metroplex and perhaps the country. Located in downtown Dallas adjacent to the American Airlines Center, the 500-seat stadium offers kids a unique professional ballpark experience with sunken dugouts, raised pitching mounds, a left field "green monster," grass infield, warning tracks, still and TV/video camera pits, two batting practice tunnels, two bullpens, modern concession and bathroom facilities, umpire changing room and outfield wall professional scoreboard.

The Little Heroes Baseball Field Foundation has forged a unique private/public partnership with the City of Dallas and the Dallas Park & Recreation Department. Through private and corporate donations, the Whataburger Little Heroes Baseball Field was built on the historical site of Pike Park, a Dallas Park & Recreation property. Heroes and the City of Dallas then entered into a 25-year management contract, whereby Heroes will manage the operations of the Whataburger Little Heroes Baseball Field.

Events held each year at the Whataburger Little Heroes Baseball Field include: ILB league games, training camps and clinics, ILB, USSSA, Super Series and Dallas Chamber-sanctioned tournaments, and concert events such as the Grand Opening Ceremony featuring Lil' Romeo. In 2006, women's softball will be played at the Whataburger Little Heroes Baseball Field.
