March 27, 2007 - Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations for the Arkansas Travelers, Phil Elson, spoke to the Lions Club today. Elson has been the radio announcer for the Travelers for the past 6 years. This year's games will be heard on 101.1 FM as well as on the Travelers website www.travs.com. The new field, Dickey-Stephens Park, will open April 12 to an anticipated capacity crowd near 10,000 people. Named after the Dickey brothers of Baseball fame and the Stephens brothers of Arkansas roots, this new park embodies a lot of history. The Little Rock Travelers began in 1896 and have carried the name Travelers ever since, the oldest club in minor league Baseball to do so. The new stadium resembles a train station, a salute to Little Rock as a train center. The park's outfield gives way to the Little Rock skyline. Seat prices will still be $6 for general admission, and parking will be $3.
