El Paso isn’t called the Sun City for nothing. Every year, we have more than 300 days of bright, sunny weather.

From the award-winning Southwest University Triple-A baseball stadium to a 92-acre sports complex, El Paso is making incredible strides.

Home to the El Paso Chihuahuas Triple-A baseball and El Paso Locomotive FC USL Club, Southwest University Park has also been used for other sporting events such as the Michelob Ultra El Paso Marathon, ESPN Sports Expo, A\&A All the Way Charity Softball game, Jennifer Han Title Night at the Ballpark (boxing), and Club Leon vs. FC Juarez (soccer).
