Downtown Bound: The Red Oaks’ New Home at Wiley Warren Field

The Red Oaks are moving where the action is—Downtown Raleigh, to storied Wiley Warren Field at Broughton High School! Nestled just off St. Mary’s Street, this storied ballpark offers fans the perfect blend of historic charm, neighborhood energy, and a classic baseball atmosphere.

Broughton High School, which first opened its doors in 1929, is one of Raleigh’s most architecturally significant landmarks. Its campus has stood as a centerpiece of the community for nearly a century, and Wiley Warren Field carries that same sense of tradition. The field is named for Wiley Atterson Warren Jr., a beloved figure in Raleigh’s baseball history, whose decades of dedication to youth and high school programs helped shape the sport across the region. In 2005, the field was officially dedicated in his honor, cementing its place as a hub for local baseball.

For fans, the move downtown means more than just a change of scenery. Located just blocks from some of Raleigh’s best restaurants, bars, and gathering spots, the new setting makes it easy to turn a Red Oaks game into a full summer night out. The field’s intimate stands, tree-lined backdrop, and the hum of the city beyond the outfield fence create a one-of-a-kind experience—equal parts nostalgic and vibrant.

The Red Oaks are eager to bring their energy to this historic field and build a true home-field advantage in the heart of the city. With easier access, a timeless ballpark, and the lively downtown atmosphere, Wiley Warren Field promises to be the perfect stage for the next chapter of Red Oaks baseball.

See you downtown this summer. Go Red Oaks!
