Abstract:
McCormick Field was part of Asheville's opulent building spree in the 1920s. A nationally popular magazine at the tie described the facility with permanent seating of 4,000, boasting the finest sanitary conditions anywhere in the country. Built in 1924, it received a major renovation in 1992. In the era of segregation, McCormick was also used by local African American teams, beginning with the Black Tourists in 1929.
