The Niners have played 13 games this season considered home games, all played off campus at three different ballparks. Charlotte finished that stretch 12-1 at Kannapolis' Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium, Pfeiffer University's Ferebee Field and The Winthrop Ballpark in Rock Hill, S.C.
Charlotte is scheduled to play 17 home games at Hayes Stadium, starting under the lights next Tuesday against Winthrop at 6 p.m.
Charlotte is 19-5, the best 24-game start in school history.
Fans should still park in the lots above the stadium and walk down to enter on the right field side (as in previous years). The press box area is fenced in and off-limits while construction continues on the final stages of the facility. Concessions and restrooms will still be located at the Wachovia Fieldhouse for the remainder of the 2007 season.
Stadium chairs will be installed in mid-April, so fans are advised to come early for the seat cushion giveaway Friday. Fans are invited to bring other cushioning into the stadium for comfort until seats are installed.
