It receives approximately 14 inches of rain per year with wonderful blue skies and fabulous sunsets. The rainy season (and often the hotter part of the year) is May through July. The temperature rarely gets lower than the teens and rarely higher than the mid-90s with low humidity unlike our Texas neighbors to the east. It starts to cool off in mid-August. The area is blessed with 21 of the 23 highest mountain peaks east of the Rockies along with some magnificent scenery. Alpine is the central community of the Big Bend with Fort Davis to the north, Marfa to the west, Marathon to the east, Presidio to the southwest and Terlingua and the Big Bend National Park to the south. We are also home to Sul Ross State University and some of the friendliest folks in the country. ~ALPINE FILMMAKERS LODGING REBATE~ The Alpine Department of Tourism has initiated a program whereby a production can receive a rebate on the cost of lodging. Of course, Alpine isn’t Austin, Houston or Dallas, but they are trying. The total rebate amount is capped and changes, so any amount I type here will be wrong. Contact Alpine’s Director of Tourism, Chris Ruggia, for more details. Department of Tourism 432-386-5916 ~CITY of ALPINE FILMING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS~ Please see the link below for the modest permit requirements for the City of Alpine. If you are a small or student film production, the city may even wave the fees as part of the Alpine’s “incentive” program. Ask. You never know. http://www.cityofalpine.com/document_center/Information/filming.pdf ~CITY INFORMATION~ Area Code: 432, Zip Codes: City 79830, POB 79831, SRSU 79832 City of Alpine (432-837-3301) City Hall & Civic Center 100 North 13th Street Alpine, Texas 79830 Alpine Weather: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/Texas/alpine Andres “Andy” Ramos – Mayor Erik Zimmer – City Manager Megan Antrim – Director of Finance [email protected] [email protected] Keyla Stanford– Administrative Assistant Jodi Cole – Municipal Judge Cynthia Salas – City Secretary Sandy Wilson – City Attorney [email protected] City Council Ward 1 – Maria Curry – Council Member Ward 4 – Martin Sandate– Council Member 432-294-1023 432-294-2043 Ward 2 – Chris Rodriguez – Council Member Ward 5 – Rick Stephens – Mayor Pro Tem/Council Member 432-294-0225 714-262-5089 Ward 3 – Betty Fitzgerald – Council Member 432-386-7096 A modest Civic Center, with a stage and a projection booth, is co-located with City Hall.

    Kokernot Field Located in Alpine, Texas. the Field Has Been Called "The Yankee Stadium of Texas" by Texas Monthly Magazine, As Well As a Historic Landmark

    Kokernot Field located in Alpine, Texas. The field has been called "the Yankee Stadium of Texas" by Texas Monthly magazine, as well as a historic landmark. An estimated 6,000 attended a 1951 exhibition featuring Satchel Paige's St. Louis Browns versus the Chicago White Sox. Future Major Leaguers Norm Cash and Gaylord Perry also played on Kokernot Field. The stadium was constructed in 1947 by Big Bend Region rancher Herbert Lee Kokernot Jr. for his semi-professional baseball team. Red clay for the infield was hauled in by boxcar from Georgia. Native stone quarried from the Kokernot Ranch was used to construct the outfield wall and grandstand. The Kokernot Ranch "06" brand was incorporated into numerous decorations throughout the stadium along with intricate ironwork of baseballs complete with painted threads. The stadium was built to seat 1,400 people. Lighting was installed in 1958. Ownership of the field was turned over to the Alpine Independent School District in 1968 after Sul Ross discontinued their baseball program and semi-pro play ceased in Alpine after the 1961 season. Sul Ross' baseball program was revived in 1983. The field is currently home to the Sul Ross State University Lobos, Alpine Bucks and the Alpine Cowboys in the Pecos League, formerly the Big Bend Cowboys of the Continental Baseball League through a lease arrangement. The Big Bend Cowboys doubleheader on May 17, 2009 marked the first professional baseball played at Kokernot Field in 48 years. Article from Sports Illustrated July 31, 1989 by Nicholas Dawidoff The Best Little Ballpark In Texas [or Anywhere Else] Travel with us to beautiful Kokernot Field, a gem of a place where time has stopped and small-town baseball has been elevated into a work of fine art.
