The Arkansas Travelers

Catch a Game with the Travs!

Come Hang Out with the Travs!

If you find yourself with a free evening, you’ve got to make your way over to a game to see the Arkansas Travelers. Most of us just call them the Travs, and honestly, there’s never been a better time to join the crowd. Since they’re the reigning 2024 Texas League Champs, the atmosphere at the park is buzzing—there’s just something special about the energy in the stands right now!

A Little Bit of History The Travs have been around since 1901, so they’re a huge part of Little Rock’s soul. Back in the '50s, they actually became the first pro team in the country to be named after an entire state rather than just a city. The name itself comes from that old "Arkansas Traveler" folk tale and song you might have heard of.

The Game Day Experience They play at Dickey-Stephens Park, which is a fantastic place to spend a summer night. It holds about 7,300 people, but my favorite way to watch is grabbing a spot on the grassy berm with a blanket.

The best part? It’s not just for die-hard baseball fans. The season runs all the way through September, and the park is set up for everyone:

• For the kids: There’s a dedicated Kids Park and a splash pad to keep them cool while you watch the innings fly by.
• For the grown-ups: Head over to the Beer Garden for a cold drink and a great view.

It’s basically the quintessential Arkansas summer experience. Grab some peanuts and enjoy the game!
