Constellation Field

Constellation Field is a new baseball park in Sugar Land, Texas that is currently under construction. It will be primarily used for baseball and will be the home of the Sugar Land Skeeters in the Atlantic League that will begin play in 2012.^[1]. The park will also have the ability to host football, soccer, lacrosse, and cheerleading competitions, as well as concerts.^[2] Constellation Field will have a capacity of 7,500 spectators for baseball games, and 9,500 spectators for concerts.^[3]

Naming Rights

In December 2010, StarTex Power—a Houston-based power company—bought the naming rights for the ballpark from the team and the City of Sugar Land. The deal will last for 10 years.^[4] In December 2011, the ballpark's name was changed to Constellation Field after the merger of StarTex Power and Constellation Energy.^[5]

Features

Constellation Field will have one of the largest scoreboards in minor league baseball. It will also be unique in that its shape will resemble Texas' borders. The scoreboard, to be constructed by TS Sports, will rise almost 100 feet above the playing field. Additionally, Constellation Field will have a traditional, manually-operated scoreboard in the left-field wall.^[6]
