Local city leaders, including Councilwoman Ruth Littlejohn, remarked about how appropriate the name and concept of the Spartanburgers is, linking it to local landmarks and celebrating the community’s identity. Mayor Jerome Rice added that the new stadium along with its developments is the “biggest project in Spartanburg’s history,” reflecting the city’s ambitious vision.

A Major Venue for a Major League

The exciting home of the Spartanburgers, Fifth Third Park, is slated to be a state-of-the-art, 3,500-seat stadium, costing around $58.76 million. Following the final design approval in March, construction is already underway after the groundbreaking on November 2. The stadium will not only be a hub for baseball fans but will also feature a public plaza, a parking garage, retail spaces, over 300 apartments, and even a hotel! This ambitious project is part of the larger $225 million multi-use development known as the Grain District, which is being funded through a blend of various state and county resources.

Diamond Baseball Holdings will manage both the team and the stadium, adding it to their impressive portfolio of 33 teams they own across North America. Excitingly, the Hub City Spartanburgers will be the only South Carolina-based team in their league, making them a unique face in the world of baseball.
