Missions Baseball

Bexar County commissioners approved a deal to finance the baseball stadium that will also give the county a park on two parcels of land near the San Pedro Creek Culture Park.

The minor baseball league team’s owners are working with the city, Bexar County, and developer Weston Urban on a multi-use facility near the San Pedro Creek. Estimates in 2024 put the anticipated costs of the ballpark at $160 million. The estimated completion is early 2028 with an opening day sometime in April that year.

One of the Missions famous owners—former Spur and NBA Hall of Famer Manu Ginobili—is expected to throw out the first pitch at 7:05 Saturday night.

County commissioners and the San Antonio City Council voted this year to create the authority to develop the ballpark and surrounding area.

The team will play a benefit game for Hill Country flood victims at Nelson Wolff Stadium on Aug. 9.
