Additional Details:
Double duty - Carolina League action at War Memorial Stadium dates back to 1945. In 1979 a South Atlantic (Sally) League team moved into the ballpark, uniquely shaped like a long-stemmed backwards "J." Seating capacity is about 7,500. For several years the facility doubled as a track. A portion of the turn remains visible beyond the LF fence, which was removed when the oval was being used. The Greensboro franchise annually attracts strong attendance. War Memorial was among the ballparks visited in the 1988 film "Bull Durham."
