Winston-Salem Dash ( CL / High-A East ) (2010?present)

Truist Stadium is a ballpark in Winston-Salem, North Carolina , United States, that replaced Ernie Shore Field . It is primarily used for baseball , and is the home field of the Winston-Salem Dash minor league baseball team.

The ballpark is bounded by Peters Creek Parkway (northwest/west); 1st Street (north); and Green Street (northeast, left-center field). Salem Parkway , which carries US 158 and US 421 , is toward the south/southeast.

History [ edit ]

It was originally planned to open for the 2009 season. Various delays pushed it to mid-2009, and then to the 2010 season. Oversights such as the budget, by city planners, were reported to be the cause. [6]

The first home game was played on April 13, 2010, against the Potomac Nationals , resulting in a 5?4 loss in 12 innings, before 7,111 spectators. [7] At the end of its first season, the stadium was named Ballpark of the Year by Baseballparks.com. [8]

Naming rights [ edit ]

On February 24, 2010, the Dash announced that Winston-Salem based bank BB&T had signed a 15-year naming rights deal for the new ballpark. BB&T also owned the naming rights for fellow Winston-Salem Entertainment-Sports Complex venue BB&T Field , home to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons football team . [9]

This was the second ballpark in the Carolina League sponsored by BB&T. The first was BB&T Coastal Field (now TicketReturn.com Field at Pelicans Ballpark), home to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans . BB&T also sponsored BB&T Ballpark (now Truist Field ) for the Charlotte Knights which opened in the spring of 2014. [10]

The ballpark was renamed Truist Stadium in June 2020 due to the 2019 merger of BB&T and SunTrust Banks to form Truist . [11]
