Located in Burlington, NC the Sock Puppets play home games at the Burlington Athletic Stadium. The stadium is a 3,500 seated stadium in the central North Carolina Piedmont city of Burlington. It was originally built in Danville, VA , and was reconstructed in 1958 after being dismantled and moved 43 miles south from its original home. The ballpark was known historically as Fairchild Stadium after the adjacent Fairchild Park City recreation area and nearby World War II Fairchild Aircraft manufacturing plant. It played host to many games in the legendary original Carolina League, and appears momentarily in the 1998 film homage to the Minors, "Bull Durham." In 2022 Burlington Sock Puppets was named Appalachian League Organization of the Year! Join us for a family fun baseball game in 2023!
