First National Bank Field

First National Bank Field anchors the north end of downtown Greensboro near the historic Lincoln Financial / Wells Fargo office tower district and the LeBauer Park / Greensboro Cultural Center cluster. The blocks immediately around the ballpark are downtown office space, restaurants, and the Greensboro Coliseum complex a short drive west (the larger arena that hosts ACC basketball tournaments and the Greensboro Swarm of the NBA G League). Elm Street's restaurant and bar cluster — Greensboro's downtown spine — runs south from the ballpark for several walkable blocks. The International Civil Rights Center & Museum, housed in the original Woolworth's where the 1960 Greensboro Sit-Ins began, sits a short walk south on Elm Street and is the canonical downtown landmark. The neighborhood reads as a steady walkable downtown with the ballpark and Coliseum complex as the two anchor sports nodes.

Plan to arrive about 45-60 minutes before first pitch — downtown Greensboro parking is gentle on most weeknights and busier on fireworks Fridays. First National Bank Field opened in 2005 as the new downtown home of the Greensboro Grasshoppers, replacing War Memorial Stadium (the historic 1926 ballpark on Yanceyville Street that the franchise had used for decades). The ballpark was originally named First Horizon Park at opening, became NewBridge Bank Park after a 2006 naming-rights deal, and was renamed First National Bank Field in 2016. The Grasshoppers shifted from the Florida Marlins to the Pittsburgh Pirates as their affiliated club in 2019 and moved from the Single-A South Atlantic League to the High-A South Atlantic League under MLB's 2021 minor-league reorganization. Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the Grasshoppers' site before going.

First National Bank Field opened in April 2005 as the new downtown home of the Greensboro Grasshoppers, replacing the historic War Memorial Stadium. The ballpark was First Horizon Park at opening, became NewBridge Bank Park in 2006, and was renamed First National Bank Field in 2016 under a naming-rights agreement with FNB Corp., the Pittsburgh-headquartered regional bank. The Grasshoppers have been the Pittsburgh Pirates' High-A South Atlantic League affiliate since 2019 (previously the Florida / Miami Marlins affiliate from 2003 to 2018). The 2021 MiLB reorganization shifted the South Atlantic League from Single-A to High-A. Capacity sits around 7,499 — one of the larger High-A footprints in the country. The ballpark was designed by DLR Group and anchored the downtown Greensboro stadium-district redevelopment. War Memorial Stadium, the Grasshoppers' previous home, still stands and is used for local college baseball.
