Durham Bulls Athletic Park

It is also home to the Duke Blue Devils[8] and North Carolina Central Eagles college baseball teams.

[10] A roof covers approximately 2,500 seats behind home plate and down both the first and third base lines to the end of each dugout.

The stadium was designed and built so that every seat gives fans a great view of the field with an intimate ballpark feel.

[citation needed] The ballpark's left-field fence is a 32-foot-high (9.8 m) wall, 305 feet (93 m) from home plate, known as the Blue Monster.

The actual sign from the movie (which featured at the Bulls previous home, Durham Athletic Park) formerly hung in the DBAP concourse but is now in storage.

Although much sturdier than the original, the new sign's limitations were revealed in violent winds that rocked the Piedmont on April 16, 2007 – the bull's head and forelegs were torn off by the storm.

Diamond View is located behind the right field seating sections and uses the same architecture as the DBAP, including the green roof, brickwork and windows.

[citation needed] Before the 2004 season, a 13' by 17' Daktronics ProStar LED video board was installed in place of the original scoreboard, giving the Bulls a major technology upgrade for the time.

[15] Following the 2006 season, the DBAP underwent major renovations in the outfield, including a new left field wall complete with a new video board located above the manual scoreboard.

For the 2010 season, the Diamond View II Building opened a new restaurant called the "Tobacco Road Sports Cafe".

Before the start of the 2016 season the Bulls announced additions to the park, including an updated kids play area called Playground 42.

After a 20-year lease extension was signed between the Bulls and city of Durham, keeping the minor league team at the stadium through 2033, both parties agreed that improvements were much needed.

[19] The biggest issue for fans attending games at the DBAP had been long concession lines and an overcrowded concourse with no view of the field.

Additionally, the stadium had new field lighting, a new ticket entrance down the third base line, and new scoreboards and video boards.

[22] The quick turnaround was primarily due to Durham being the host city for the 2014 Triple-A All-Star Game.

Had it not been for this reason, Mike Birling, the Bulls then- general manager, stated that the renovation would have most likely been done in phases.

[25] Perhaps the most significant game during any of the events was an 18-inning contest between the UNC Tar Heels and the NC State Wolfpack during the 2013 ACC tournament semifinals.
