Fayetteville Ballpark, Baseball stadium in downtown Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Fayetteville Ballpark is a baseball stadium with about 4,600 fixed seats located in downtown Fayetteville, North Carolina. The seating is arranged so that spectators have a clear view of the field from almost any vantage point.
Fayetteville had no minor league baseball after the Cape Fear Crocs left following the 2000 season. In August 2016 the city signed a 30-year agreement with the Houston Astros, and groundbreaking took place on August 21, 2017. The ballpark opened on April 18, 2019, when the Woodpeckers lost 7–5 to the Carolina Mudcats before 6,202 spectators.
Segra Stadium takes its name from Segra, an independent fiber bandwidth company that bought the naming rights on February 7, 2019. Outside the baseball season it hosts Pecktoberfest, Fayetteville Holiday Lights and the Eastern NC Walk to End Alzheimer's. In May 2019 it held the Big South Tournament, and from February 28 to March 1, 2020 the Armed Forces Invitational, in which Army West Point, Air Force and Campbell each played two games against the others.
The ballpark sits in downtown Fayetteville, next to the Airborne & Special Operations Museum, Fayetteville station and the Prince Charles Hotel. The 2016 agreement with the Houston Astros keeps a Class A team there for 30 years. Besides baseball, it hosts events such as Pecktoberfest, Fayetteville Holiday Lights and the Eastern NC Walk to End Alzheimer's.
The stadium construction prioritized local contractors, with most contracts going to small businesses in the region. This approach made the project an important economic boost for the local business community.
