'Corpus Christi Hooks Tickets'

'The Corpus Christi Hooks are the Double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros. The Hooks have been a member of the Texas League since 2005 when the franchise relocated from Round Rock, Texas. Nolan Ryan, who pitched for the Astros over the course of his illustrious career is listed as one of the owners of the Hooks. It didn't take long for the newly formed squad to find success, as they won the 2006 Texas League Championship in only their second season of existence in 20. It took five seasons for the Hooks to make their way back to postseason, but when they did the franchise established itself as a staple in the Texas League Playoffs. Between 2012 and 2018, the Corpus Christi Hooks appeared in five postseasons. While they continue to chase their second Texas League title, the Hooks have put themselves in playoff contention on a consistent basis. Get your tickets to see the Corpus Christi Hooks at StubHub.'

Whataburger Field

opened for the arrival of the Corpus Christi Hooks just before the 2005 season. The scenery of the Corpus Christi Bay just beyond the outfield wall provides a backdrop for the grassy berms that allow for additional general admission seating.

History buffs may also enjoy the remnants of cotton processing buildings in the outfield that serve as a nod to Corpus Christi's cotton industry.
