Stuart Stadium

Stuart Stadium was a ballpark located in Beaumont, Texas and home to the Texas League Beaumont Exporters from 1929 to 1955 except for 1943–1945 when the Texas League ceased operations during World War II. The Lamar Cardinals baseball team also used the stadium as their home field for the team's first three seasons (1952–1954). The stadium was demolished in order to use the stadium grounds as the site of the Stadium Shopping Center.

Exporters' Success
The Beaumont team was not always a good team, but they did have some years of success while at Stuart Stadium. The Exporters lost a playoff for the first half title in 1931, won the Texas League title the next year in 1932, lost in the first round in 1934, finished as runner-up in 1935 to the Oklahoma City Indians, won another Texas League title in 1938, finished as runner-up to the Houston Buffaloes in 1940, and finished as runner-up to the Shreveport Sports in 1942 before returning to mediocrity.
