Locations & Attractions|Durham Bulls Athletic ParkBaseball is one of America’s most popular sports, and the citizens of Durham are no exception to this trend. The stadium of their home team, the Durham Bulls Baseball Athletic Park can seat up to 10,000 spectators despite featuring only a single deck, unlike most other major parks. Every seat in the ballpark is an extra wide theater type of seat and features a good view of the action which means that there aren’t really any bad seats in the stadium. Despite being modern in nature, the Park features a real old fashioned style including a 32 foot ‘Blue Monster’ Wall and a hand operated scoreboard. The wall intentionally resembles Fenway Parks’ ‘ Green Monster’. Atop this wall is a bull that was built to resemble the one made famous in the Kevin Costner movie Bull Durham and the actual bull used in the movie is preserved in the concourse of the park. Beyond the baseball there are also other attractions in the park including a Speed Pitch Machine, a children’s playground and a rock wall to test the climbing skills of guests. Concession stands are located at the back of the grandstand and present a wide variety of food including the regular ball park offerings of hot dogs, burgers, pizzas as well as others such as Mexican, barbeque, and Fried Chicken. When in Durham, whether for business or leisure, check the stadium schedule as their might be an exciting game at the stadium.
