Recreation & Parks
Pringles Park enters its seventh season in 2004 and the second for all the renovations that feature a considerable makeover, the result of a cooperative effort between the City of Jackson and Lozinak Baseball Properties, the new owner of the minor league baseball franchise housed at the stadium. Pringles Park, an $8-million structure that seats 6,000 for baseball and up to 7,500 for concerts, is home to the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx, the Class AA, Southern League affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.
Renovations have been made for fans to enjoy including a picnic pavillion area on the third base side, new soffeting throughout the structure, and a redesigned first base side terraced berm. In addition, the reserved seating section now features green stadium seats similar to the field box areas and an additional restroom is available on the lower concourse level.
As the first Class AA baseball facility in America to have a naming rights deal, courtesy of Procter & Gamble, Pringles Park has drawn about 1.6 million fans have attended games, including a record 7,777 to witness Sammy Sosa and the Cubs play a March 2001 exhibition.
