Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium
Often referred to as the "Jewel of the Texas League" (probably a moniker given the facility when it was new in 1994), Wolff Stadium is currently the oldest ballpark in the Texas League with 17 years of use. The ballpark seats more than 6,200 and, when counting the "outfield berm" seating holds more than 9,000 spectators. Despite its relative newness, the stadium has often been criticized by regularly attending fans for its poor upkeep. Missions management has been seeking a new stadium since 2009, hoping to work in tandem with the University of Texas at San Antonio to bring a viable project about.
Tickets for Missions games are priced on par with other minor league parks, ranging from $7 to $10 based on the section of the ballpark the ticketed seat is in.
