Asheville's McCormick field will get some much-needed upgrades. The team is hosting the Sally League All-Star game next year, so they're busy with renovations to get the venue in top shape. Crews have already remodeled the visitor's clubhouse. Fans will get a new place to sit, as the 22-year-old bleachers are replaced. Team officials say they're not sure yet if they'll put in new bleachers or individual seats with backs. They say these improvements will go beyond baseball. Brian DeWine, Asheville Tourists President, "McCormick Field is an asset, it's the city's asset, it's the community's asset, so you want it to always be in top shape. By having it in good shape it lets us bring events like the All-Star game to McCormick Field, it lets us bring our 70 home games we have every year to Asheville." The team is also looking into hosting other non-baseball events in the future at McCormick after the success of the recent Florida Georgia Line concert. _______________ Follow WLOS on social media: WLOS ABC 13 News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/News13/ WLOS ABC 13 News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WLOS_13 WLOS ABC 13 News on Instagram: https://instagram.com/wlos_13 Subscribe to WLOS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ABC13Channel/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to AnchorMOMS, the Podcast: https://wlos.com/news/anchormoms/anchormoms-the-podcast Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8Ge6UXHJs&list=PLkVbaoT-aYbIvnEpR0Ct5QQQqYaORUSUH For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.wlos.com Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://wlos.com/watch Have a news tip?
