The Arkansas Travelers — Double-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners — open the 2026 home season at Dickey-Stephens Park, one of the best minor league ballparks in the country. The park sits on the Arkansas River in North Little Rock with a view of the downtown Little Rock skyline beyond the outfield wall, and the atmosphere on Opening Night is reliably festive: giveaways for early arrivals, a pre-game ceremony, and fireworks after the final out. Travs games are one of the metro's best value family outings — good sight lines from nearly every seat, a solid concession operation with local food options, and parking that doesn't require a second mortgage. The home schedule runs through September; Opening Night is traditionally one of the most attended games of the season.
