At various times, Dallas' minor league team was known as the Giants, Steers, Rebels, Eagles, and Rangers.

The club played in the Texas League starting in 1888, continuing until they joined the American Association in 1959, a year after they had been renamed as the Dallas Rangers.

The Rangers played in the Association through 1962, then had two seasons in the Pacific Coast League in 1963 and 1964 before moving to Vancouver, British Columbia.

When the Texas League revived the franchise in 1965, as the Dallas-Fort Worth Spurs, both LaGrave and Burnett Fields were replaced by Turnpike Stadium, later called Arlington Stadium, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth in Arlington, Texas.

In 2014 investment firm Cienda Partners acquired the property, including 30 acres surrounding it formerly occupied by the Oak Farms Dairy.
