Greensboro Grasshoppers

Weekend fireworks during baseball season are amazing. Usually every other Friday & Saturday night when they have home games they put on a beautiful (and expensive looking) fireworks display after the Grasshoppers game has ended. I hear thirsty thursday games are a blast, but beware you might come across some belligerent binge drinkers taking full advantage of the promotion!

Amazing stadium. The Labrador «bat boys» are the cutest. Highlight of the game. Only bad thing– no full bar.

I bought tickets for standing room only I thought it included Natty Hill but I was only going to be able to be in one small area no chair and was told I couldn’t sit on the ground don’t go unless you have an actual seat

We always have fun at Greensboro Grasshoppers games. Great for family outings, birthday parties and corporate events. There’s something for every budget from inexpensive lawn tickets to the nice luxury suites with air conditioning. Food is reasonably priced and pretty good by ballpark standards. Natty Greene beer on tap.

So much fun! Fireworks show is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend going to a game on a thirsty Thursday and enjoying a Natty Greens brew.

I love the Grasshoppers. Thirsty Thursdays are always very busy, but you can experience the same specials on Mondays! $ 1 beer, soda, and hot dogs. Can’t beat that. But the Thirsty Thursday experience is always the best to go to. Very nice and clean stadium with a lot of options to choose from.
I would splurge the extra dollar to get a seated ticket, as general admission can get crowded.

While I have not been to this place since the 2011 – 2012 season, it has never failed to be a good time. In all fairness, it is relatively cheap and fun to do. A lot of times they run promotions for alcohol and gate entrance and this keeps people coming.
For the baseball fan, the field is well kept, the stadium is nice, and it has decent amenities. The outside bar called the Grandstand Bar area is a personal favorite of mine. It’s like it is happy hour the entire time. LOVE THIS! Nothing like a bar outside!
Have kids? Then this place is great. They have the play area, the dog that «helps with the game,» and firework Fridays. The fireworks are pretty decent considering how 4^th of July fireworks in Greensboro have stunk for several years now.
They have several concessions that serve typical stadium food.
The stadium really is nice. If you have been to other minor league parks, then you can see the difference. The investment is noticeable. The location is also good. Like sports towns, the stadium should be downtown. It is.
Overall a great and fairly cheap activity for singles, couples, and families. Someone mentioned that they weren’t much of a baseball fan but still has fun. I would consider myself an average baseball fan and I feel the same way. Great atmosphere!

Good fun for the family! Hot dogs, peanuts, drinks, wacky games and sound effects, a super cute black Lab that retrieves the bats, «Take Me Out To the Ballgame», and oh yeah, baseball!

Thirsty Thursday and Cheap Beer Mondays are lots of fun. The only problem is they tend to make the rules up as they go. On Thursday nights, sometimes they only let you buy one beer at a time, which is annoying if you are buying 12 oz one dollar beers and the lines are long. All the other days you can buy two at a time. They usually cut you off at the bottom of the eighth inning, but on some days they do it in the sixth.
The field is very nice. they keep it clean and in good shape. It’s a great place to hang out on summer days.

This was professional baseball stadium number 56 for me (27 minor; 29 major). What a complete opposite this park was compared to the West Virginia Power the night before. This is a relatively new stadium, very clean and a nice view of downtown Greensboro beyond right field. The beer and food were all reasonably priced. I had a Carolina Dog (hot dog with chilli and coleslaw) and it was great! Also, nice gift store with Banner 47 brand t-​shirts — my favorite! On top of it, it was a close game with the home team losing 3 – 4 with bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth.

Let me start off by saying that I’m not a baseball guy. It’s too slow-​paced, the prolonged sun exposure is a deterrent (thanks, pale skin of mine), and I unfairly compare every outfielder against Bo Jackson and his ability to rifle runners out at home plate from left field.
But despite all of my own personal gripes about the sport, catching a Grasshopper game at any time is a treat. The stadium, tucked in near downtown Greensboro, is its own separate universe complete with what I consider the sights and smells of baseball: freshly cut grass; delicious, artery-​clogging hot dogs piled high with chili, cheese, and onions; boiled peanuts whose salty shells wind up in my cold beer from the bar in left field; the delayed crack of a struck ball and the potential ensuing fear of not being able to locate the ball as its careening somewhere within a half mile of my body; the Wave; the intra-​inning entertainment; the batter’s 5-​second intro music; et. al.
Even if you aren’t a baseball fan like me, experiencing a game with a local crowd is loads of fun and the Grasshopper Stadium certainly packs in the entertainment on any night of the week. However, if you’re prone to have a cold one — or several cold ones — during a game, be sure to check out Monday nights if you’re being thrifty ($ 1 beers), Thursday nights if you’re wanting to crowd watch (Thirsty Thursday), or any Weekend game (no work the next day). For the non-​beer drinkers, the Friday night fireworks are also a treat. Regardless of what day best suits your needs, be sure to take the time to go and enjoy the great ballpark experience and to root, rootroot for the home team.

Minor league baseball is such a blast no matter what town you’re in. The games are fun, but what really makes it a special experience is the community feel, the laid back atmosphere, and the fact that you’re not getting fleeced on the the cost of tickets or concession food and drink.
Even in the minor league baseball world, the Grasshoppers stand out. It’s the stadium. There aren’t any bad seats, and the place is modern without losing that community park feel. Also, it’s right next to downtown Greensboro. Charlotte could learn a lesson from that for its own Knights team. Having the stadium downtown boosts attendance and creates a huge amount of business for local restaurants and bars.
Go catch a game here sometime. At these low ticket prices you can take the whole family without breaking the bank.

Always fun for the family!

What a great ballpark. Not a bad seat in the house. The outfield bar area is a great meeting spot for singles/​friends and mingling. It was Thirsty Thursday and all beers where $ 2 instead of the usual $ 6 — great deal. The weather was perfect and the people watching great. I’ve been going to games way before the «Bats» back when they were the «Hornets» at the old War Memorial Stadium (miss that place).
I was so preoccupied with beer, hot dogs, friends and people watching, I could not tell you if the Grasshoppers won or lost… ha
The downtown location is a double thumbs up!

I love Single-​A baseball! I’ve been to many many stadiums where the players have a .000 batting average and can’t legally drink for another two years. These guys used to be the Bats back in the day, but when they moved to the downtown stadium, people thought it would be good to change their name. My husband is dying for them to introduce a player by using the Mr. Miyagi «Ah young grasshopper.» I miss the days where I would sit on the grass and order $ 2 cups of Natty’s brews for Thirsty Thursdays. For low-​grade ball, it is a blast. Come to watch, come to drink, come to be in the sun.
