World War Memorial Stadium

The Uptown's War Memorial Stadium is a long standing Greensboro landmark. Built in 1926 as a tribute to those service men and women who served in the first World War, the stadium was originally intended to be a football stadium. Later, the Greensboro Patriots and other minor league baseball teams would call War Memorial home.


Sadly, the stadium has long since been neglected by the City of Greensboro and has fallen into a sad state of disrepair. While listed in National Register of Historic Places, the eventual fate of this Uptown landmark is unknown.
