Franchise History
The Grasshoppers play home games at NewBridge Bank Park (formerly First Horizon Park), which opened in 2005 and seats 8,000 fans. The team's logo was changed to a cartoon Grasshopper prior to the inaugural season at the new ballpark. Prior to that, all home games for the Hornets and Bats were held at World War Memorial Stadium, just northeast of downtown Greensboro.
