Bivins

Dick Bivins stadium built and opened in 1950, is named after Dick Bivins, Amarillo civic leader and nephew of Lee Bivins. It has the distinction of being the first stadium in the world to use the next-generation artificial turf surface FieldTurf (an artificial turf that closely resembles natural grass by using sand and rubber as an infill material) which was installed in 1998. Later renovations occurring in 2004–2005 included major modernization of press box, locker rooms, scoreboard, and accessibility upgrades. 

Pioneer Lee Bivins arrived in the state in the early 1900s. By the time he died in 1929, he had become the largest individual cattle owner in the world and the largest landowner west of the Mississippi.
