The Big South Conference and High Point Downtown Stadium Foundation announced today an agreement to host the 2022 Ingles Big South Baseball Championship at the High Point Rockers’ home ballpark of Truist Point in High Point, N.C. The six-team double-elimination tournament to determine the Big South’s automatic bid recipient to the NCAA Championship will be held Wednesday-Saturday, May 25-28. The Big South will have a neutral site location for its Baseball Championship within the league's footprint of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia for the sixth time in the past seven years. The $36 million facility opened in 2019 as the home of the new High Point Rockers baseball team of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. The ballpark has a seating capacity of 4,500 and includes suites and loge boxes, plus a feast of food & beverage options, playgrounds for kids, along with a unique brew pub at The High Pint. Truist Point also features the High Point University Vintage Seat Section -- seats from legendary ballparks such as Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Rosenblatt Stadium, Fulton County Stadium, The Metrodome, Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium, Citizens Bank Park and Oracle Park. bigsouthsports.com/news/2021/12/6/high-point-rockers-truist-point-to-host-2022-ingles-big-south-baseball-championship.aspxI wonder how much the city of High Point is giving the conference?

No hotel stays for the baseball team in May during the tournament most likely? Huge.
