The City of Mansfield, in partnership with KemperSports and REV Entertainment, announces the reopening of Mansfield Sports Park, formerly Big League Dreams Mansfield, as Fields at Station 63, an homage to the nearby rail lines that helped shape the city’s early growth as well as the zip code, 76063.
KemperSports and REV Entertainment have been working with the city since January to rebrand and reimagine the park, reestablishing its position as an elite tournament destination. The reopening celebration on Sept. 6 will not only celebrate the new management partnership, but also the facility’s multimillion-dollar renovation aimed to elevate both the player and spectator experience by integrating state-of-the-art technology, improving safety and expanding the functionality of the field, concessions, indoor facility and spectator areas.
Improvements include:
State-of-the-art synthetic turf on all eight playing fields
New lighting, fencing and other field upgrades
Complete renovation of both restaurants
Renovations and upgrades to the indoor practice facility, including new artificial turf and retractable walls for flexible, multi-sport use
New playground equipment
Design work is currently under way on phase two of the renovation, which will add an inclusive Miracle League Field to allow players of all abilities to participate.
Going forward, KemperSports, a leader in sports complex, golf and hospitality management, will oversee the park’s renovation, rebranding and day-to-day operations. REV Entertainment, a recognized leader in sports and entertainment and the operator of the in-progress Mansfield Stadium, will continue providing consulting and management services and ensure the partnership aligns with the City of Mansfield’s vision for the facility while lending their expertise to support the park’s ongoing transformation.
“This facility has been a gathering place for Mansfield residents and visitors to come together and enjoy sports and special events,” Mayor Pro Tem Todd Tonore said. “With our new partners, Fields at Station 63 will expand on that legacy by providing high-quality fields and maintenance, dining and facilities for athletes and guests to have remarkable experiences.”
“Reopening this park with a complete overhaul of the grounds and a rebranding to Fields at Station 63 represents a new era at the complex and for youth sporting events in Texas,” said Steve Goris, Senior Vice President of KemperSports Venues. “We are excited to re-open the park under a new name, welcome local residents to a facility we can all be proud of and drive economic impact to the area by attracting youth sports events to Mansfield.”
Immediately following the ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mansfield City Council and project officials, Fields at Station 63 will host a day of family fun including tours, games, music, food and player evaluations. Staff will also be on-site to share more about the multi-sport leagues, tournaments, training classes, camps and other programs to be offered for all ages.
