Fayetteville Ballpark is the working name for a proposed baseball park in Fayetteville, North Carolina. It will be the home of the Buies Creek Astros, a Minor League Baseball team playing in the Carolina League. It is scheduled to open in 2019 and will seat up to 4,905 people.
Fayetteville lacked minor league baseball since the Cape Fear Crocs relocated to FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood Township, New Jersey for the 2001 season. The team is now called the Lakewood BlueClaws, the Single-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.
On August 17, 2016, the City of Fayetteville signed a memorandum of understanding with the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball to keep a Single-A team club at the pending ballpark for 30 years.
In conjunction with the ballpark financing, Prince Charles Holdings plans to invest $15 million toward renovating the adjoining Prince Charles Hotel into apartments. The company also intends to invest an additional $60 million toward a hotel, 150 residential units, 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) of retail space, and a parking garage at the same stadium site.
