Wake commissioners to hear presentation on Five County Stadium renovation project
Posted August 8, 2022 12:35 p.m. EDT
Zebulon, N.C. — Wake County commissioners will listen to a presentation on proposed renovations for Five County Stadium on Monday in an effort to bring the stadium in line with similar ballparks.
The presentation notes that the stadium needs to undergo improvements and renovations by 2025 to comply with standards set by Major League Baseball. The stadium, which has hosted Carolina Mudcats home games since 1991, has not had "material improvements to the fan experience" since 2004, according to the county.
The current proposal calls for $15 million worth of upgrades.
The stadium is jointly-owned by Wake County and the Town of Zebulon. The stadium lease is up for renewal in 2023.
The Mudcats are a Single-A affiliate and have been part of the Milwaukee Brewers' system since 2017.
