Durham Dragons
August 15, 2014
The Durham Dragons were one of six founding franchises in Women’s Professional Fastpitch, a professional softball league that launched in the southeastern U.S. during the spring of 1997. Most WPF clubs played in softball-specific complexes or in aging minor league baseball stadiums. The Dragons played at the 70-year old Durham Athletic Park. The stadium had gone unused for professional sports for two years since the minor league baseball Durham Bulls departed for a new state-of-the-art stadium in 1995.
