NewBridge Bank Park, home of the Single-A Greensboro Grasshoppers, is now in its 10th season. Year after year, the ballpark ranks among the top teams in its league for attendance even if the Grasshoppers are losing.

In this week's cover story in the Triad Business Journal, reporter Owen Covington looks at NewBridge Bank Park through the lens of economic development.
