Red Oaks Featured on CBS 17 in Raleigh!

by Chase Lio

The Raleigh Red Oaks are official darlings of the Triangle baseball scene, as highlighted by CBS 17’s recent profile. From saving baseball under the trees at Optimist Park to building a fresh, spirited alternative to big-league ball—we’re proud to be the homegrown summer favorite!

Here’s the buzz:

  • Perfect baseball setting: wood bleachers, natural turf, energy that only a locally rooted team can bring 

  • Community vibes: approachable, affordable, and unapologetically charming

  • Carl the squirrel says they nailed the coverage, but he’s waiting for his own feature (and maybe an on-camera peanut break)

🎥 Check out the video above for the full story—then come experience it yourself this season. Big this summer, bigger in the stands.

Only a few games left this year, come out and see us!

Let’s keep turning heads—Okays Park to the Tribune Tower.
