Baseball season is almost upon us. The Greensboro Grasshoppers have their first game on Friday, April 5, 2025, against Asheville.* It is a home game and will be played at First National Bank Field. The above photo of the venue was taken from the back side of the stadium at Bellemeade. This stadium replaced the War Memorial Stadium on Yanceyville on April 3, 2005. So this year's opening day will be 20 years and 2 days since the first pitch was thrown in the above stadium. You may remember the controversy surrounding opening a new stadium; however, largely, people are in agreement that is was the right move to bring baseball downtown.
The 2025 schedule is shared below. We hope you will have time to take in a game and participate in the many special events in the stadium. When you are inside, watching the game, it really does feel like the all American thing to do. In the meantime, we will all need to find other things to do for the next month. We've got the whole weekend to see what, serendipitously, will come our way.
Happy Saturday!
