Prior to that, all home games for the Hornets and Bats were held at World War Memorial Stadium, just northeast of downtown Greensboro.

Early on, the nickname Greensboro Patriots was applied to those teams, in reference to the Battle of Guilford Court House.

The Virginia-North Carolina League of 1905 included the Greensboro Farmers franchise, also owned by Brandt.

The Greensboro Patriots joined the Carolina Association as charter members in 1908 and began a run of 10 straight seasons in pro ball.

The Greensboro Patriots were revived as well, joining the newly formed Piedmont League in 1920, winning its inaugural championship.

Following the 1968 season, Greensboro dropped out of professional ball for the next ten years, during a time when minor league baseball had lost popularity.

With the move from 80-year-old War Memorial Stadium to the new park in 2005, the club further expanded its corporate face-lift by changing nicknames again, to the alliterative Greensboro Grasshoppers.

They went on to win the Northern Division title with a 2–0 sweep of the Hagerstown Suns in the first round of the playoffs, but lost the Championship Series 3–1 to the Asheville Tourists.

For 2019, the Pirates organization made Miguel Perez head coach, who managed the Grasshoppers to an improved 79-59 for a 3rd-place finish.
