The first game at Momentum Bank Ballpark was played in 2002. It was named the "Best New Park of 2002" by BaseballParks.com.[5] Momentum Bank Ballpark was originally known as First American Bank Ballpark, but the name was changed in 2005 after Citibank acquired First American Bank of Bryan, Texas. In 2014, the ballpark was again renamed to Security Bank Ballpark.[1] It became Momentum Bank Ballpark in 2020.[6] The ballpark replaced the old Christensen Stadium, the former home of the RockHounds.
