The field was named after Mayor R. M. Dudley (1862–1925), and originally hosted the El Paso Texans team.

[3][4] The Diablos called Dudley home until 1989, when they relocated to a new facility, Cohen Stadium, in the northeast of town.

Dudley Field had bleachers running down each foul line to complement the covered grandstand, which was made of adobe bricks, and sat behind home plate.

It was located on the south side of the city directly next to the El Paso Zoo.

Mickey Mantle and other prominent stars of the era played in Dudley in the 1950s as a member of the New York Yankees.
