Pringles Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pringles Park is a 6,000 seat minor league baseball stadium located in Jackson, Tennessee. It opened in 1998.
Pringles Park was built by the municipal government of Jackson and is the home of the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx of the Southern League. The Jaxx are the Class AA affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. The stadium is located east of downtown Jackson and is highly visible from Interstate 40. Its name derives from the sale of naming rights to Procter & Gamble for its Pringles Potato Chips product, which is manufactured in Jackson.
The stadium has become the source of much controversy in Jackson as of late; the agreement for the Diamond Jaxx team to occupy it will expire at the end of the 2005 season. However as of the 2006 season the Jaxx have remained in Jackson, with no plans to move to another city.
