Sports, Space and Serious Bayou Fun at Beaumont’s Doggett Ford Park

For sporting events that need room to move, venues to spare and fields that impress as much as your athletes, consider Doggett Ford Park Entertainment Complex as your go-to venue in Southeast Texas. With 221 acres of indoor and outdoor space, this place can flex for just about anything, from cheer competitions and basketball tournaments to rodeos, boxing matches and everything in between. 

Smack dab on I-10 and just 90 miles east of Houston, Doggett Ford Park is easy to reach, hard to forget and built to handle small and multi-field events. 
 

Get to Know Doggett Ford Park 

Let’s start with the stars of the show. The Doggett Ford Arena is an indoor powerhouse with stadium seating for up to 8,500. When you step in, it’s easy to picture basketball games that come down to the wire, high-energy cheer and dance events or even rodeo-style thrills. Right next door is the Exhibit Hall, offering 48,000 square feet of wide-open space that’s great for team check-ins, vendor booths, award ceremonies or your team’s refuge. 
 

For outdoor sporting events, Doggett Ford Park has you covered. The Doggett Ford Midway and surrounding fields are great for field hockey, flag football games or lively, multi-field youth tournaments. Doggett Ford Park Fields has 12 championship-caliber youth baseball and softball fields along with 12 all-weather turf infields. The fields include designated team warm-up areas and live game web streaming from all fields. 
 

The Midway area includes 9 paved acres and a dedicated parking area, so there’s plenty of space for fans to congregate, stop by a food truck, sponsor booths and even bounce houses if you want to go full festival mode for your sporting event. No matter your event’s vibe - big, bold or buttoned-up - Doggett Ford Park has the facilities for it. 
 

Easy to Get To and Hard to Beat 

Located right off I-10, the complex is a breeze for teams traveling in from Houston, Dallas, New Orleans or beyond. There’s plenty of free parking on-site (5,000 spots!), so no one’s circling the lot when they could be warming up. 

If you need support with your event planning, we’re here to help! The team at Visit Beaumont has your back leading up to your event with hotel coordination, site tours, welcome signage promo items and local discounts. 
 

Beaumont also offers over 3,700 hotel rooms with options that fit every team’s style, from trusted hotel brands to unique stays, all just minutes from Ford Park.
