For a ballpark that has not seen professional
baseball since the early 1970's, Fleming Stadium is in fabulous condition.
In fact, it's probably in better shape than many parks that are still
hosting minor league baseball. The large covered grandstand contains
all the seating, half of which is plastic folding chairs and the other half
which is metal benches. The park is home to a collegiate league team
in the Coastal Plain League
. It also is used by various youth leagues and is home to the Babe
Ruth League World Series. Set in a residential neighborhood, Fleming
Stadium is boxed in by streets on every side. Another charming ballpark
which is a throwback to a different era in minor league baseball.
