Image Description: This picture shows Cohen Stadium in Northeast El Paso. The stadium was named after pro-baseball player brothers Andy and Syd Cohen, who grew up in El Paso and came back to coach here after their Major League days. The stadium was built as close to the mountain as possible, with just the gateway and freeway separating them. The stadium’s famous white tent-like awnings cane be seen in this picture, along with the stadium lights and the desert vegetation that grew so close to the stadium.
