Whataburger Field is a minor league baseball stadium located in Corpus Christi, Texas, USA on the city's waterfront. The park, which opened in 2005, is the home of the Corpus Christi Hooks, the double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros. Naming rights were paid for by Whataburger, Inc., which is headquartered in Corpus Christi. Fans are able to see the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium from inside the park. Whataburger Field features 5,050 fixed seats, 19 luxury suites and two outfield berm areas that are able to accommodate nearly 2,000 fans.
On June 30th, 2005 the stadium unveiled For the Love of the Game, an 18-foot (5.5 m) statue depicting a young ball player in a contemplative pose. The statue is believed to be the largest bronze statue of a baseball player.
