It is the home field of the Asheville Tourists minor league baseball team. As befits the hilly city of Asheville, the ballpark sits on a section of level ground partway up one of the city's hills, providing a picturesque atmosphere. [2] It is the oldest minor-league park in regular use. HistoryThe ballpark was built in 1924 and was named after Asheville resident Lewis McCormick; it is one of the oldest minor-league stadiums still in regular use. Lights were installed for nighttime play prior to the 1930 season.[4] Since then, it has been home to the various incarnations of the Asheville Tourists team, and also served as home field for the Asheville Blues of the Negro Southern League during the 1940s.[3] The facility was renovated in 1959, and then rebuilt in concrete between the 1991 and 1992 seasons, replacing the largely wood structure which had developed a leaky roof. The 1992 ballpark kept a similar layout to the original McCormick Field. The facility included new expanded restrooms and larger concession stands. New clubhouses were built and lights erected as player and field enhancements. The height of the fence behind the cozy right field area, which was in the vicinity of just {{convert|300|ft|m}} away from home plate, was more than tripled, as it now stands {{convert|36|ft|m}} tall (nearly the same height as Fenway Park's "Green Monster").[4] Other usesThe ballpark served as one of the settings for the 1988 film Bull Durham.[5] The venue hosted the 2009 Big South Conference Baseball Tournament, won by Coastal Carolina.[6] Farther up the hill, behind the left field area, is Asheville Memorial Stadium, a football and soccer facility. Its bleacher seating structure is visible from McCormick Field. See also
