Fifth Third Park is a baseball stadium in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

The stadium was built primarily for the Hub City Spartanburgers, the relocated and renamed Down East Wood Ducks of the Carolina League,[4] who replaced the Hickory Crawdads in the South Atlantic League (SAL).[5] It is also intended to host other sports, outdoor concerts, festivals and community events. The ballpark is part of a larger $425 million mixed-use development on a 16-acre site at the western edge of downtown, which will include more than 375 luxury apartments, a 150-room hotel, 200,000 square feet of office space, parking for at least 1,500 vehicles, and a public plaza.[6]

The Johnson Group oversaw development of the ballpark. McMillan Pazdan Smith was the architect of record, and Robins & Morton was the general contractor. The stadium is owned by the City of Spartanburg.[6]

The capacity is 5,250 total (3,500 seated) for baseball games.[2][7] The stadium has 12 premium suites, a 7,000 square foot club/multi-purpose event space, concourse level boxes and an outfield berm in deep left field.[8]

A groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 1, 2023, where Fifth Third Bank was announced as the ballpark naming rights sponsor.[9] The facility opened to the public on April 1, 2025, with a game between the Wofford College Terriers and the USC Upstate Spartans. The Terriers defeated the Spartans 5-2 in front of a crowd of 3,662.[10] The Spartanburgers' first home game at the ballpark on April 15, 2025, was a 5-3 victory over the Bowling Green Hot Rods, attended by 4,467 fans.[11] The stadium's highest attendance is 4,798 for a 10-5 Hub City win over the Winston-Salem Dash on July 4, 2025.
