Address & Directions - GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF TIME!!

Well sports fans we’re less than a week away and the weather man has set us up with two sunny days (but we know how that goes).

The address is:

1150 Big League Dreams Parkway
League City, Texas 77573
(281) 316-3400

The easy directions are I-45 South to Exit 22 (Calder/Brittney Bay Blvd).  Exit but stay on the Frontage/Feeder road.  DO NOT turn onto Calder or Brittney Bay Blvd.  Stay on the frontage road paralleling I-45 and about 2 miles down on your right you’ll see a relative large gree sign that says "BALLPARK" with an arrow pointing to the right.  Go right onto Big League Dreams Parkway and you can’t miss the ballpark.

Give yourself PLENTY of time to get there as I-45 is known for it’s traffic regardless of the day or time.

Call the number above if you have any questions on getting there or contact one of the tournament staff.  It’s going to be a great weekend!!
