Abstract:

War Memorial Stadium opened in 1926 in Greensboro as a dedication to the soldier boys of World War I. For over seventy-five years baseball teams played there, but by 1998 deterioration was claiming the structure. Its time had passed, but the great memories lingered. While NC A & T University plays games there, a decision on what to do with the stadium is still pending.
