It's a nice ball field. It's old, though, so it hasn't been upgraded. The women's bathroom was clean.

Beautiful ballpark. Bittersweet visit this time. NCCU played their last game Sunday. The program has been cut by the Athletics Dept.

Great baseball experience for avid fans. Go see NCCU play for free. Bring your own concessions.

Love this park. Been going to games here since the 1960's. Was there during the filming of Bull Durham. It still has all its old charm and is very well kept.

Awesome park the boys loved to play in a park that has so much history. Grounds crew maintained the grounds well and every seat was a good seat throughout the park. Get to your event early due to parking being limited but what's new in Durham 😃

This is an absolutely gorgeous park. The grounds crew from DBAP keep the DAP looking amazing. There isn't much parking on site, but plenty around the ball park. There isn't a bad seat in the stands. For the history buffs, this is the park the movie Bull Durham was filmed in. Beautiful murals on the building in left behind the scoreboard, and open seating at the Arcade in center field. Plenty of stalls and sinks in the restroom.

Was there for Radford vs NCCU opening wknd for college baseball. Very nice historic field. Only draw back is they had no concession stand open and it was 40 degrees 2/14!

A little piece of the classic days of baseball. Parking can be a bit of a problem if there is a lot of people at the event, but plenty of room in the stands (and many of the seats are in the shade).

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains... and sometime if you're in Durham, you should visit the historic Durham Athletic Park. Prior home to the Durham Bulls minor league team, this is also the filming location for the movie "Bull Durham". While the Bulls have changed homes, college baseball is still played here. If you're a baseball fan, if you're a "Bull Durham" fan, then you should visit if only to see where it all happened. It'll be as if you dipped yourself in magic waters, and the memories will be so thick you'll have to brush them away from your face (wrong movie, I know, but very applicable).

I coach a travel baseball team from Ohio and we got a chance to play a game here. What an awesome experience! The field was in great shape and the kids had a blast. Definitely recommend this if you get a chance to play here.
