Yesterday, we featured War Memorial Stadium, Greensboro's premiere stadium for 79 years. However, since 2005, Newbridge Bank Park has been Greensboro's destination for baseball. The new stadium has contributed significantly to the rebirth of downtown. From baseball games to fireworks displays to scout camp outs to evenings on the playground just inside the gate, Newbridge Bank Park is fun, fun, fun.
Take me out to the ball game in the new ballpark; but, find a way to keep our vintage gem, War Memorial. To follow up with questions yesterday, World War Memorial Stadium was so named because it was dedicated on the eighth anniversary of Armistice Day (November 11, 1926). See more pictures here.
For the ABC Wednesday crowd, N is for Newbridge and NEW ball park!
It is nice to have a place that people gather around and just have fun!! It does look like everything is new in there. Happy Wednesday!

Spanking new and rather stark to my taste, but obviously an improvement in terms of function!
On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)

I love minor league baseball! There's a newish stadium in troy, NY, near Albany. A not that old stadium in my hometown of Binghamton. An ANCIENT one in Oneonta, NT, where my in-laws live and my father-in-law has season tickets to see the O-Tigers.
What's the team affiliation and level?
