Professional leagues seek to restore baseball at CaroMont Health Park
Summary

Two professional leagues are pursuing the revival of baseball at CaroMont Health Park following the closure of the Gastonia Ghost Peppers. The Ghost Peppers ceased operations due to financial issues after three seasons. The Atlantic League plans to keep a team in Gastonia for the 2027 schedule if the city reopens the lease. Meanwhile, the National Association of Professional Baseball has expressed interest in looking at the park for potential opportunities. The City of Gastonia is also working to regain control of the land around the stadium from the previous Honey Hunters owner.
