This is good news. Now hopefully construction moves fast. They have about a full year to be fully ready. This year, the opening week for the Atlantic League is April 26. This means that if the Atlantic League wants to give HP a little more time, they can probably push the opening weekend to the second weekend of May or so to ensure there's enough time to build. I know it's not a major league stadium or anything, but one year is pretty ambitious. Doable, but ambitious.
How many BB&T minor league stadiums do you need in 1 state?
True lol. But at least they didnt call it BB&T ballpark or field which would confuse it with other stadiums in the state. We already have two baseball stadiums in NC called BB&T Ballpark in both Winston-Salem and Charlotte. Thats the problem with naming rights associated with banks. First National Bank Field in Greensboro isn't unique either. I think there is a First National Bank Field in Pennsylvania or some other state.

Minnesota. Looks like it's being built or in the planning phases: FNBRF Field
But at least they put the town name in the name of the facility to distinguish it from Greensboro's.

When I first moved to the Triad, I wanted to go to a Dash game. I knew the stadium was BB&T something...my GPS took me to WFU...I soon learned to specify which BB&T athletic facility. lol
Phase 1 of High Point stadium plan calls for 500,000 feet of mixed-use development. Looking at all of the phases, this is very impressive for High Point.
My family and I left Trinity in 2013 and I miss NC quite often. My title implies a desire to move to Huntsville which lies, in part, in the feel I get there that reminds me of WS. We spent 15 years just south of HP so I am wondering what all has changed in the past five years? Anything substantial outside of the impending stadium? I follow what is going on in GSO easily here but you don't hear much about High Point. I'm sure HPU is still gobbling up territory (Alumnus here / adult degree program....couldn't afford it any other way!). Just curious guys.
