Nestled into a hillside just south of downtown Asheville, HomeTrust Park is one of the most historic and picturesque ballparks in Minor League Baseball. Opened in 1924, the stadium is famous for its "cozy" dimensions, particularly a right-field wall that stands 36 feet high (drawing comparisons to Fenway Park’s Green Monster) due to its short 297-foot distance from home plate. Over its century-long history, the field has hosted legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Jackie Robinson and even served as a filming location for the 1988 classic Bull Durham.
Today, the stadium is the home of the Asheville Tourists, the High-A affiliate of the Houston Astros, and underwent a massive $38.5 million "Centennial Restoration." This project, was completed for Opening Day 2026. It modernized the facility with new clubhouses, a multi-use year-round event space, and upgraded fan amenities like a new video board and expanded concourse. Despite these upgrades, the park retained its unique mountain charm, remaining a "Beer City" staple where fans can enjoy local craft brews while watching a game against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge foothills.
