Truist Field

Truist Field anchors the Third Ward / Stadium District of uptown Charlotte — the southwestern quadrant of the uptown grid that includes Bank of America Stadium, the Charlotte Convention Center, and the residential / mixed-use Romare Bearden Park directly across from the ballpark. The blocks immediately around the park are uptown office towers, restaurants, breweries, and the walkable Romare Bearden Park green space. Tryon Street — uptown Charlotte's spine — runs a few blocks east and connects to the rest of the uptown wards including the Levine Center for the Arts (Mint Museum Uptown, Bechtler, Harvey B. Gantt Center) and the EpiCentre nightlife district. South End — Charlotte's most-improved walkable neighborhood of the past decade — sits a short LYNX Blue Line ride south and is the destination for breweries and post-game dinners. The neighborhood reads as a successful downtown ballpark integration on the model of Coors Field's LoDo or Petco Park's East Village.

Plan to arrive about 45-60 minutes before first pitch — uptown Charlotte walk-up is gentle most weeknights and busier on fireworks Fridays or Panthers-shared event days when garage pricing can spike. Truist Field opened in 2014 as BB&T Ballpark (named for the BB&T bank, headquartered in Winston-Salem) and was renamed Truist Field in 2020 after the BB&T / SunTrust merger to form Truist Financial. The Knights relocated from suburban Fort Mill, South Carolina (where they had played at Knights Stadium since 1990) — the move uptown was a transformative event for Charlotte sports and is consistently cited as one of the most successful MiLB urban-relocations in the past decade. The Charlotte skyline visible beyond center field is the canonical photograph. Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the Knights' site before going.

Truist Field opened in April 2014 as the new uptown Charlotte home of the Charlotte Knights, the Triple-A International League affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. The ballpark was originally named BB&T Ballpark (for the Winston-Salem-headquartered BB&T bank) and was renamed Truist Field in 2020 after the BB&T / SunTrust merger created Truist Financial. The Knights moved here from Knights Stadium in suburban Fort Mill, South Carolina, where they had played since 1990 — the move uptown ended a roughly quarter-century suburban exile and is consistently cited as one of the most successful MiLB urban-relocations of the past decade. The Knights have been the White Sox's Triple-A affiliate since 1999. Capacity sits around 10,200 with the Charlotte skyline visible beyond center field. The ballpark was designed by Odell Architecture / Pendulum Studio. Note: a different Truist Field also exists in Winston-Salem as the home of Wake Forest football — distinct venue.
