From the Cape Fear Crocs Gap to a 2026 Championship
The Woodpeckers' 2019 debut at Segra Stadium ended a long stretch without affiliated baseball: no minor league team had played in Fayetteville since the Cape Fear Crocs left after the 2000 season, according to the stadium.
On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the Woodpeckers beat the Charleston RiverDogs 7-4 at Segra Stadium to finish a 4-0 postseason sweep and claim the Carolina League crown. The team's recap notes it was the city's first minor league championship since the Fayetteville Hilanders won the Class-B Carolina League in 1956.
2027 Woodpeckers Schedule: What Is Confirmed
The team has announced that its title defense begins April 2, 2027, on the road in Salem, Virginia (Woodpeckers).

How to Buy Woodpeckers Tickets
The Minuteman Press Box Office at Segra Stadium is fully digital. If you walk up, staff will point you to a QR code so you can buy on your phone; a game-day ticket solutions window helps with accounts (A-Z Guide). The official channel is the Woodpeckers tickets page. The club isn't responsible for tickets bought anywhere other than Tickets.com.
Children 2 and under who sit on an adult's lap don't need a ticket, but everyone 3 and older does. Tickets are non-refundable. If a game is postponed, single-game buyers get a digital undated voucher in their account for another game that season, and groups of 10 or more can book through the front office (A-Z Guide).
2027 single-game prices haven't been announced. 2026 value deals included a Sunday Family Four Pack with four baseline tickets, four hot dogs and four sodas or waters for $60 with fees included (Daily Promotions), and an $18 Thursday Berm & a Beer ticket with standing-room entry and value loaded for a beer, or two on Thursdays (Berm & a Beer).
Segra Stadium Parking and Directions
The team's A-Z Guide sends fans to the city's Park Fayetteville program for parking. Downtown garages and lots normally cost $1 an hour with a $5 daily maximum. They're free on weekends and on weekdays before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m., except when special-event pricing applies (Park Fayetteville). On event days, the city charges a $5 flat rate, usually starting two hours before the event, at its off-street lots and at the Hay Street and Franklin Street parking decks (Park Fayetteville).
| Option | What to expect |
|---|---|
| City decks and lots near the stadium | City facilities include lots at 433, 466 and 467 Hay Street (Park Fayetteville) |
| On-street spaces | Not subject to special-event rates and free on Saturdays and Sundays (Park Fayetteville) |
| Reserved spot | The city's event parking page links to ParkWhiz for Segra Stadium parking (Event Parking) |
| Lot behind Fascinate-U | City lot on Bow Street behind the children's museum (Park Fayetteville) |
Driving in on I-95, the team says northbound drivers take exit 46 toward NC-87 North and southbound drivers take exit 56 toward US-301 South, then follow signs for the ASOM and downtown. The team's A-Z Guide routes Fort Bragg drivers down the All American Freeway, but the All American Gate and the freeway from the gate to Zabitosky Road closed on July 27, 2026, for up to 24 months (Fort Bragg roads update). Leave post through another gate such as Yadkin Road or Canopy Lane, then head downtown to Segra Stadium on Hay Street. If you're pairing a game with dinner or a museum stop, start with our downtown Fayetteville guide.
Segra Stadium Clear Bag Policy and Entry Rules
The clear bag policy applies at every home game and at non-baseball events (A-Z Guide):

Ballpark Food and Where to Eat Before the Game
Inside the stadium, concessions include Bagwell's Burgers behind Section 127, Sgt.

For a pregame meal on foot, Gaston Brewing Company is a veteran-owned brewery and restaurant at 124 Hay Street. It's closed Mondays, opens at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and closes at 7 p.m. on Sundays (Gaston Brewing). If you're coming up I-95 from the south, Dirtbag Ales Brewery & Taproom is at 5435 Corporation Drive in Hope Mills. Its Sunday hours end at 4 p.m., so it suits Tuesday-to-Saturday games better (Dirtbag Ales). Older guides often point to Huske Hardware House on the 400 block of Hay Street, but that brewpub closed in April 2024 (CityView). For more options, see our best restaurants in Fayetteville and Fayetteville breweries guides.
Pecktoberfest and Non-Baseball Events at Segra
