Grand Prairie Stadium

Grand Prairie Stadium (formerly QuikTrip Park and AirHogs Stadium) is a cricket ground and former ballpark in Grand Prairie, Texas. Opened in May 2008, it served as the home stadium of the Texas AirHogs of the American Association of Professional Baseball from 2008 through 2019, and of the USL League Two soccer team Texas United from 2017 to 2019.

After the AirHogs folded in October 2020, it was announced that American Cricket Enterprises—the commercial partner of USA Cricket—had acquired the lease to AirHogs Stadium, and planned to redevelop the ballpark as a cricket ground. The $20 million redevelopment began in April 2022, and the stadium reopened in July 2023 for the inaugural season of the Twenty20 league Major League Cricket—during which it hosted most matches.

The stadium also serves as a home and training facility for the United States national team, and was one of three U.S. host stadiums during the group stage of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

The ballpark was constructed for the newly formed Texas AirHogs baseball team; Tulsa-based convenience store chain QuikTrip funded and acquired the naming rights to the stadium, considering it a part of the company's 50th anniversary.

In 2013, its natural grass surface was replaced with Matrix artificial turf.

By 2016, after the expiration of QuikTrip's naming rights, the park was later referred to as The Ballpark in Grand Prairie or AirHogs Stadium.

In 2017, the AirHogs' ownership group Neltex Sports Group established a new Premier Development League (PDL) soccer team, Texas United, which would play home matches at AirHogs Stadium.

In 2020, the Texas AirHogs opted out of the American Association season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas, and then terminated their membership in the league in October of that year.
