Fayetteville Woodpeckers

What Fayetteville Woodpeckers does

The Fayetteville Woodpeckers are a privately-held Minor League Baseball Single-A franchise and a developmental affiliate of the Houston Astros, competing in the Carolina League and playing home games at Segra Stadium in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The franchise was established in 2017 and opened its ballpark in 2019; operations are currently active through at least the 2026 season. Core operations center on selling live professional baseball entertainment: single-game tickets, season tickets, flex plans, a season-long Ballpark Pass, themed promotional nights, and a layered group/hospitality portfolio (suites, field boxes, party areas, picnics, the Miller Lite Landing, and birthday parties). Ancillary revenue streams include on-site and online merchandise via milbstore.com, the Woodpeckers Authentics memorabilia auction, prepaid Bunker's Bucks gift cards, and concession sales. Community programming — Bunker's Buddies Kids Club, Youth Baseball Camps, Community Leaders Program, Very Important Veterans, and non-profit spotlights — supports long-term fan development and local engagement, particularly given Fayetteville's military-adjacent population.
