World War Memorial Stadium

World War Memorial Stadium is a baseball venue and war memorial in Greensboro featuring three large arched entrance gates as its main architectural elements. Bronze plaques engraved with names of local World War I casualties line the front walls of the structure.

The venue opened on November 11, 1926, on the anniversary of Armistice Day, as a tribute to World War I veterans. It originally served as a football stadium with a uniquely shaped running track before being converted to baseball use.

The venue served as a home for multiple minor league baseball teams that became part of local sports traditions over decades. These teams connected communities and built lasting memories for families who attended games there.

The venue accommodates roughly 7,500 spectators with a baseball field layout that remains largely unchanged from its original design. Visitors should be prepared for narrow pathways and limited modern amenities, as the facility has maintained its historical character throughout the decades.

The facility features a backwards J-shaped running track in its foundations that visitors can still observe today as part of the structure. This curved design reveals how the location once served different sporting purposes before becoming purely a baseball venue.
