OUR STORY
The story of Travis Fields began in 1956 when the City of Bryan purchased 29 acres of property from the First National Bank. The Bryan Bombers, a class-c minor league baseball team, was already occupying a portion of the land for their professional baseball stadium (now the Brazos Valley Bombers at Edible Stadium). In mid-1983, more fields were added for use by Bryan Little League and enjoyed by players, families, and the citizens of Bryan for the next 38 years.
​
In 2020, Travis Fields became part of the Midtown Park development. The entire complex was renovated to include three synthetic turf baseball and softball fields and eight batting cages. In addition, PlaySight live-streaming capabilities, Musco Sports Lighting, a high-quality concessions facility, a shaded play structure, and permanent seating were included to ensure Travis Fields remains a premier facility for years to come.
​
Since its re-opening in February 2021, Travis Fields has become a place for all ages to connect with the rich heritage of Bryan through recreational activities. It has remained home to the Bryan United Little League while expanding to host other local teams, statewide tournaments, and international events like the ANB Summer Slam featuring youth players from Australia.
​
With a renewed commitment to impactful recreation, the Play for Easton Memorial Tournament was established with a mission to provide assistance, scholarship, and support to remove financial barriers for sports children in the Brazos Valley. In addition, Travis Fields hosts adult recreational leagues and events facilitated by RCI Sports which promotes community-centric events like Winter Wonderland and the Brazos Valley Marine Corps League Toy Drive.
