Note:
The cylindrical, two-story ticket office with a conical roof is the hallmark of the facility used by the minor league Durham Bulls until 1995, when the team moved to a new ballpark. The ballfield became famous as the setting for the movie Bull Durham (1988). In 2008-2009, the stadium was refurbished to serve a variety of community uses.
