The first Alexandria Aces team, which began in 1934, played in the Evangeline League, those Aces were the first to use Bringhurst Field, (named for the late industrialist R.W. Bringhurst) built for the club in 1933. Nearby is Bringhurst Golf Course, popularly known as "the nation's oldest par three course," and a popular attraction, the Alexandria Zoological Park. The zoo features more than six hundred animals from throughout the planet as well as an award-winning exhibit on the Louisiana habitat. Alexandria, Louisiana, in Rapides County, is 79 miles N of Lafayette, Louisiana and 169 miles NW of New Orleans, Louisiana. Originally, this area was the home to a community that supported the activities of the Spanish outpost of Post du Rapides. Alexander Fulton, a Pennsylvania businessman, received a land grant from Spain in 1785, and the first organized settlement was made at that time. In 1805, Fulton and business partner Thomas Harris Maddox laid out the town plan and named the town after Fulton's infant daughter. Alexandria was first incorporated as a town in 1818 and received a city charter in 1882.

In addition to working with The Alexandria Aces, Combustion has also signed advertising agreements with The Grand Prairie AirHogs, The Fort Worth Cats, The Shreveport Captains, The Texarkana Gunslingers, The Bay City Toros and the entire Continental Baseball League.
