Sport ODTX

Experience West Texas, where athletes' dreams come to life and lasting memories are created in Odessa. While Odessa is famous for its football legacy, as the home of "Friday Night Lights," the city offers much more. From hosting the first rodeo of the year to numerous softball and baseball tournaments, dance competitions and other events, Odessa is a vibrant hub for diverse sporting activities.
 

Stay Out West

Odessa offers over 50 hotels, providing athletes with ample options for rest and recovery. Whether you prefer the modern elegance of the Odessa Marriott or family fun at the MCM Grande Hotel & Fun Dome, you'll find accommodations to suit your tournament needs.
 

Play Out West

Odessa’s new premier sports complex will open in early 2026. This 100-acre playground will include a 100,000-square-foot facility with integrated meeting rooms and interchangeable court space for nine indoor basketball courts, 20 volleyball courts and 80 pickleball courts.
 

The outdoor area will have three baseball/softball quads and 10 soccer fields. These state-of-the-art facilities will have an onsite restaurant for visitors to relax and enjoy their time in between games – or  there is the possibility to go offsite and find places within minutes to dine, shop or stay in accommodations in the Parks Legado Town Center. 
 

Create Memories Out West

Keeping athletes entertained and well-fed is a priority. Odessa boasts a variety of local dining and entertainment options for after-tournament activities. Curb Side Bistro is a must-try, known for its delicious sliders and C.S.B. fries. For entertainment, Cinergy offers an arcade, bowling lanes, movies, and more. Don't miss the UTPB Stonehenge Replica on the UTPB campus. While shorter than the original in England, it's an exact replica in diameter and astronomically accurate.
