Gate City Grasshoppers

Greensboro has one of the finest minor league ball parks in the country. The class 1-A Minor League team has been in the Florida Marlin farm system since 2003. The NewBridge Bank Park was opened in 2005 with a seating capacity of almost 7500 fans, and on special nights, it is a full house.

I can tell you from personal experience that it is a great time to go out to the ballpark and enjoy a spring or summer evening. It's fun to watch them play the Hickory Crawdads or the Lakewood Blue Claws or if you are really lucky, you might even get to see the Savannah Sand Gnats. No matter who plays, it's a fun time and a lot of baseball to watch. Kids have loads of entertainment between innings and adults have plenty of choices for food, snacks and drinks. Many businesses, churches and organizations take advantage of group rates and share a great time.

During the summer months they shoot off a fireworks display that rivals or exceeds the local Fourth of July celebration. They play a full schedule with lots of home games to choose from. Lets go out to the ball game, a whole new season of the Grasshoppers is here and waiting for our enjoyment. See you there!
