That's a relatively new stadium on the South Carolina side of the Savannah River in North Augusta. Supposed to be a nice park.
I wasn't sure they would move them that far North. Now that I see they did, wish Columbia had beaten them out as that ownership group needs an affiliate as well.

Great name.
Hey guys, really excited. I live 15 minutes from SRP Park. It's really beautiful and the surrounding area is nice. I tried to go see the Rome Braves play there whenever they'd be in town at least once a year.
Will be happy to post any thoughts on prospects when we go to games next year.

Actually surprised to see the Fire Frogs not get a spot, considering they played at the new Spring Training hub.
I think Florida's summer monsoon season basically did the Fire Frogs in. I'm excited to see Rome moving up to High A. Now I just wish we could attend games there again.
Go get him!

I saw those Fire Frogs play in the spring of 2017. I even got the hat! Acuna, Riley, and Ajax all played in that game.
Damn. Was hoping columbia would get them.
Looks like we got the Royals.Originally Posted by Krgrecw
Great name! Definitely getting some merch.
Yeah. Royals lucked out. They got a nice stadium
Will Rome be in the Carolina League?
Twins' fans are excited because the Twins are moving the AAA team to St. Paul, where Mike Veeck's independent league Saints have always been a big hit with the fans. He got a beautiful new stadium two or three years ago. Veeck has all kinds of promotions and the games are really a party where a baseball game breaks in for a bit. Curious to see if the Twins try to get him to tone it down.

Haven't seen anything that mentions whether the league names/etc. will be following as teams change levels - will be interesting to see.
Have always been able to catch them when they come to Asheville when both teams were in the SALLY League. Guessing they'll continue playing each other since both jumped a level, but haven't seen anything (or heard locally) indicating that that's indeed what will happen. The Tourists are now a part of the Astros system instead of the Rockies.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
A couple of SALLY league teams moved up to A+. Asheville, Greensboro, Greenville. Probably going to have to be in a league with Brooklyn and Jersey Shore as well. Gonna be some long bus rides.
i'm gonna make a trip to see a game up there
well, i hope
we shall see how 2021 goes lol
the stadium looks nice
