The Greensboro Grasshoppers are a Minor League Baseball team based in Greensboro, North Carolina. They are members of the South Atlantic League and are the High-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. They play their home games at First National Bank Field, which opened in 2005 and seats 7,499 fans. Prior to 2005, the team nickname was the Hornets (1979–1993) and the Bats (1994–2004); all home games were held at World War Memorial Stadium, just northeast of downtown Greensboro. The team's nickname and logo were changed to Grasshoppers to coincide with the inaugural season at the new ballpark. Fans selected the name "Guilford" (an homage to the county in which Greensboro is located) for the team's mascot, a giant grasshopper.
