Baseball season is upon us. Now that the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship has concluded, we can all focus our sports watching efforts on baseball. The above photo was taken at UNCG's field on March 22nd, when UNCG was playing Western Carolina. UNCG won!
The above stadium, located at the corner of Kenilworth Street and Walker Avenue was built in 1999 to rave reviews and is rated as one of the top small venues for Division 1 baseball. In 2006, a new scoreboard/videoboard was installed, making it fun to watch the stats and replays roll by. The stadium seats approximately 3,500 spectators. If you want to see for yourself, come out tonight as they have a home game against Wake Forest. If you can't get there this evening, here is the schedule for the rest of the season. In addition to the UNCG Spartans, there are always the Greensboro Grasshoppers, The Guilford College Quakers, The Greensboro College Pride, and the North Carolina A&T Aggies who would love your support. For the pre-collegiate options, there is AAU baseball, high school teams, middle school teams, and Little League-- plenty of local options. Greensboro has no shortage of great baseball. Batter up!
We've had minor league teams here, but not at present. We do have no shortage of diamonds in city parks though.
