Wilson Tobs News Release


Wilson, N.C. - The Wilson Tobs Baseball Club, summer collegiate baseball team, in cooperation with the North Carolina government and health officials, are making changes to Historic Fleming Stadium operations. The Tobs' season begins with three exhibition home games beginning Friday, June 26, with a shortened Coastal Plain League schedule beginning on Thursday, July 2 through Thursday, August 13.

In accordance with phase two of North Carolina's COVID-19 response plan and effective immediately, Wilson Tobs' home games are now closed to the general public until otherwise stated. Wilson Tobs baseball games will continue to occur throughout phase two.

Historic Fleming Stadium will re-open to the general public when North Carolina enters the next phase of its COVID-19 response. The next phase will allow for a higher capacity in outdoor sporting venues. The Wilson Tobs will regularly update the community regarding attendance capacity.

The only persons allowed in the ballpark for home games during phase two will be competing teams, staff and select individuals. All persons entering Historic Fleming Stadium will be required to wear a face mask covering their nose and mouth to gain entry per government regulation. Anyone arriving without their own personal mask will be provided a disposable mask. Social distancing guidelines as put forth by the Center for Disease Control will be strictly enforced. Hand sanitation stations will also be located throughout the ballpark.

Tobs' games will still be available to view online through a paid subscription service at cplbaseball.tv. Three subscription plans are available for purchase:

- Single Game Pass - $5

- Team Pass (single team, home games only) - $49

- League Wide Pass (all games, all teams, all season) - $79

Games will be available to stream on Apple TV, Amazon Fire and Android TV as in the past, however fans will need to sign up for their subscription through cplbaseball.tv first. All Tobs' home games will be available to watch on Greenlight TV at no additional charge (basic channel 2, digital channel 86-1900, HD channel 900).

The safety of our community, players and staff are our number one priority. We believe the steps we're taking will protect everyone who enters Historic Fleming Stadium this summer. For additional information, please visit wilsontobs.com or call our front office at (252) 291-8627.
