Financing
Voters approved $16 million in bonds to fund a new ballpark. The bonds will be supported by a 1/8-cent sales tax increase.
The Texas Rangers opposed the 6,000-seat park, built between Lone Star Park and Nokia Theatre, about seven miles east of Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
The ballpark hosts a team owned by a general partnership that owns several American Association of Independent Professional Baseball minor-league teams.
Ventura Sports' partners are based in South Carolina and Wisconsin and are operating locally as Grand Prairie Professional Baseball.
The ballpark features a 6,000-square-foot sports bar and restaurant beyond the left-field fence, a cigar bar, a swimming pool overlooking the right-field wall, and a 17,000 square-foot Wide World of Parks Kids Zone, which includes a rock-climbing wall, a miniature golf course and a wiffle-ball field, among other attractions.
