Notable Players: Chad Fox, Matt Franco, Trevor Hoffman, Pokey Reese, Brett

Notes: The stadium was built to replace a wooden ballpark that had
twice burned (1939 & 1944). It is named for Watt Powell who financed part of
the construction for the park. Teams from the Central League, American
Association, International League and South Atlantic League have called it
home. The Sally League franchise moved downtown to Appalachian Power
Park while Watt Powell was demolished in 2005. The right field slopes upward
from the infield toward the outfield wall.
