Whataburger Field is the minor league baseball stadium located in Corpus Christi, Texas, USA. It is currently home to the Corpus Christi Hooks, the double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros.The park, which opened in 2005, is located on what used to be old cotton warehouses upon the city’s waterfront. 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.
