Nature's Playground: Schroeder Park

Image
A Day in Paradise Cougar Park Home of the Houston Cougars' baseball team, Schroeder Park (formerly known as Cougar Field) is truly a marvel to the eyes. Known for its spacious accommodations and fan-friendly staff, this is a must-see ballpark! The recently renovated facility has become one of the top college baseball stadiums. This baseball collegium can hold up to 3,500 fans but can accommodate 5,000 with the grass berm areas behind the outfield wall. It also boasts the second-largest video board in all of college baseball! Beyond the Diamond Outside of catching a game, there is a never-ending list of things to entertain you. The parks include picnic areas to possibly enjoy some BBQ, or if you bring a friend, you're welcome to throw a baseball in the grass fields! Besides the game, the area is perfectly located to enjoy other festivities, such as the Karbach Brewing Company, which is local and rapidly gaining a reputation right across the street, so be sure to visit before the...

  Swinging for the Fences! Deep in the Heart of Texas Being bored in Texas should never be an issue. Whether you're from Dallas or even California, there are a multitude of reasons to explore. There is nothing more Texan than to catch a ballgame on a late summer night. The first of many ballparks I will be leading you through is right in the heart of our great state, Frisco, Texas. Riders Field, home of the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders and formerly known as Dr. Pepper Ballpark (much better name in my opinion), was recently updated in 2015 and even built a lazy river in the outfield a year later. They have been setting  records for attendance since these upgrades and even consistently have fun nights such as "Dude Perfect Night," where they brought in a whopping 18,000 fans! Attractions Being just north of Dallas also comes with great perks. The Roughriders are the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, just a few hours away, so it is an awesome experience seeing up-and-c...
