    What a fun time. If you are looking to see great basketball in an easy to access, lively, intimate environment... it is right here in Greensboro! The Greensboro Swarm are the NBA "G" League team that feeds into the Charlotte Hornets, meaning, we are one of the lucky few places to have such a thing (no team has more than 1 development team). And I'm here to tell you... the basketball is GOOD. You gotta remember, these are guys who have been drafted to NBA teams, and at any moment they could be called up to the highest level of basketball. They are run and coached professionally, and the quality of play reflects that. With the college game getting more splintered due to the presence of NIL and the transfer portal, this is your best chance to see great team basketball. The arena, currently called Novant Field House, is a small but lively venue. There's about 2500 seats, and there isn't a bad one in the house. Any of these seats would be considered ultra premium at a college or pro game. Tickets start around 20 bucks, with a center court seat being no more than 40. You can sit ON THE HARDWOOD courtside in a comfy chair for less than 100 bucks, and that is just an amazing experience. The game unfolds right in front of you, like you're waiting to play next. When I went, the Swarm absolutely demolished their opponent from Mexico City (the Capitanes) which is actually the only team in the G League that is not a directly affiliated team for someone in the NBA. This is a great experience for anyone, especially families. Kids can take the court and play ball after games on Friday nights!

    The Greensboro Swarm are the NBA G League's only team in the Carolinas. Owned by and a direct affiliate of the Charlotte Hornets, the Hornets had many good options to locate its G League affiliate, from Asheville to the Triangle to Greenville-Spartanburg to coastal cities. I don't know the reasons why they settled on Greensboro, but it makes sense to me given Greensboro is home to the Atlantic Coast Conference and the ACC basketball tournament. Basketball is a big sport in the Piedmont Triad and I think the Swarm are a natural fit and a great addition to the area. Like the ACC tournament, the Swarm play at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex. However, the building the Swarm play in is different. The Swarm play in The Fieldhouse which has a seating capacity of 2,118. The ACC tournament is played inside Greensboro Coliseum which is about 10 times bigger at 22,000 seats. This kind of gives you a sense of the level the Swarm are at. The Fieldhouse is actually one of the smallest arenas in the G League with only the South Bay Lakers' UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo being smaller (750). Needless to say, The Fieldhouse is an intimate venue where you can get up close to the players and action, even more so than in a lot of college settings. The Fieldhouse opened on November 12, 2016 and I believe it was built specifically with the Swarm in mind. The Swarm are a relatively new team, but not among the rapidly-growing G League's newest teams. The team's first season was 2016-17. The Swarm have yet to finish a regular season above .500 nor have they made the playoffs. Some notable players to suit up for the Swarm include former UNC Tar Heel and 2017 NCAA champion Joel Berry, Raleigh native and 2018 first-team All-American Devonte' Graham, Winston-Salem natives and former NC State Wolfpack players Caleb and Cody Martin (twins), former Hornets and now Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Malik Monk, former UNC Tar Heel and 2012 McDonald's All-American Marcus Paige, Washington NC native and former NC State Wolfpack player Damien Wilkins, and NBA veteran Christian Wood. Parking fees at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex range in price from $5 to $20 depending on the event.

    I feel that if you are looking up reviews on a minor baseball stadiums which ever division, you…read morealready understand the basics of the sporting event you are interested in. So let me answer some questions I had. Call with anything you have to ask, as the staff is very friendly and competent in answering. It is the same ticket price for all (in said section price you choose), other than toddlers -- they are free. Parking? Well, you know how it goes, so get there early. Lots get coned off after game starts, even with open spaces. Park at your own risk. The playground is beside the batting cage. They have a bouncy house that is attended but there is no one to attend and "injury guard" at the playground. The kids are unruly, no parents in sight. And I mean, if they were? -- I didn't let my kids play there tonight. Seating aisles are very tight, like, old school stadium tight. Other than playground, I have no major qualms, but this is not the stadiums fault. I guess? Would have just liked to have a little bit of refereeing. Food is your good ol' classics. Would like to see some growth, but there is a great up and coming food mall right next door, Blessing Park (I think). Which also provides a splash park, this is explained on the website. Everything entree, side, & adult bevs pretty much runs about $8, of course snacks a bit cheaper. Beside the HPU vintage section, you may enjoy cocktails and wine, as well in a bit more relaxed and roomy environment. Very clean facility; maintenance working the whole time with smiling faces and happy to converse. Friendly staff and volunteers all around. Merchant shop and the High Pint both super awesome. Rock out!

    This new stadium is absolutely beautiful! It's the first time I've ever encountered a fully turf…read morefield for a baseball game before (including the infield, mound and everything) but you can't argue with how it looks, and it seems the players are happy with how it plays as well. Beyond just the looks of everything being pristine and new, the stadium has a good amount of amenities for a smaller park, specials on ticket packages for many occasions, and some decent food. I've been to three games here, and each time was very happy with my seats. Right now, most games have a lot of seats available, so once you're in you can kind of maneuver to get the angle you want. Either way, you won't find a bad seat in the house, and in the outfield there is plenty of room for standing and watching as well. The Rockers are an independent baseball club, meaning they aren't a farm team for a major league program. There are several interesting things about this, chief of which is that you'll see guys with MLB experience mixed in with guys who have never played at a level higher than this one. Scores can get out of control sometimes, but two of the three games I attended were played close and relatively clean. Finally, with independent baseball, remember the team has to support itself financially in full. Some items are more expensive than at affiliated clubs, but nothing at least to my eye, is outrageous. Last thing, on fireworks nights, thanks to the turf field... they let the fans out onto the field to watch the show! That is a really cool experience, and one that you won't want to miss if you have kids that are learning about baseball.

    This is the Atlanta Braves Rookie ball club so it's a small ballpark, but has had a number of…read morerecent improvements (see list in photos). They play a short season of about ten weeks. The stadium, called American Legion Field, seats 2,588, so it's cozy and parking is free. It's nestled in Dan Daniel Memorial Park, which has walking and nature trails, picnic shelters, mountain bike/hiking trails, a Riverwalk trail, soccer/football fields, little league baseball fields, playground, and a skate park. The reserved section is quite comfortable since adding stadium seats and is covered by a roof. They also offer waitress service in this area which is sections A, B & C. The ceiling fans really help when it's warm. The bleacher area is general admission and are not covered. There is protective netting end to end from first base to third just past where each teams dugout ends. Concessions in the stadium have the basics at very reasonable prices like burgers, hot dogs and fries as well as many sides, snacks, drinks and frozen items. I particularly appreciate no extra charge for cheese or chili on the all beef hot dogs, which are Kunzler brand from Lancaster, PA. There's also barbecue, chicken tenders, bologna burgers, corn dogs and chicken sandwiches. The best bargain is the popcorn that's served piping hot in a very large paper bag which keeps it warm and will feed a family of four. The crowd is friendly and has a small town family feel about it. The Rookie league doesn't have the glitz and glamour of the higher level farm teams which seems to keep fans more engaged with the actual game itself. There are a few on field fan contests between innings with a prize for the winner and was just enough to keep people entertained. There's also bingo throughout the game and cards are just 50 cents or free in the $2.00 program that comes with the current game's roster. Their mascot, named Blooper, might have been struggling with the heat the night we were there as it was pretty lackluster, but the kids still seemed to enjoy him. The staff are all friendly and accommodating. All in all, I really enjoyed the entire experience and would love to come back again!

It has a great mountain backdrop in the outfield. I hadn't been there in around 14 years since I went back to see Miguel Sano and Eddie Rosario play.
