(Almost) play ball. The City of Spartanburg’s Design Review Board approved plans for Fifth Third Park, the city’s $58.6 million baseball stadium.
Approval was given with an agreement from Johnson Development Associates to upgrade the streetscape near the AC Hotel downtown.
Here are some fast facts:
- This project is the biggest investment in Spartanburg’s history.
- The stadium will have ~3,500 seats.
- This will be home to the Down East Wood Ducks, a minor league affiliate of the Texas Rangers.
- The stadium will be built on 14.5 acres of land at West Henry Street + South Daniel Morgan Avenue.
In addition to the stadium, the project includes:
- 375 apartments
- A 150-room hotel
- Office + commercial space
- A public plaza
- Parking for ~1,500 vehicles
The first pitch is scheduled to take place on March 7, 2025, so Sparkle City residents should start getting ready to root for their home team.
