Disch Field

Austin, Italy

Disch Field was a baseball field located in Austin, Texas, that opened in 1947 and hosted many minor league teams and playoff series. The diamond is at the present time part of the park behind The Long Center for the Performing Arts and the Palmer Events Complex between W. Riverside Drive and Barton

Springs Road in South Austin, along the Colorado River. The park includes an open area called Willie Wells Field, named for the Austin-born Negro league baseball legend. Disch Field was the first, followed by UFCU Disch-Falk Field, to be named after Billy Disch.
