Since Arthur W. Perdue Stadium opened in 1996, the Shorebirds have become an integral part of the Delmarva community. As the only professional sports team in the area, our team and our stadium are one of the staples of the Eastern Shore. Spawned by the efforts of Franklin P. Perdue, a man whose leadership, vision and commitment to small town values, helped him build one of the most successful companies in America.

7th Inning Stretch, LP purchased the Shorebirds in 2007 from Comcast Spectacor. Since acquiring the team, 7th Inning Stretch has gone to great length to improve the fan experience and Arthur W. Perdue Stadium itself. A new videoboard and all new seats have been installed for fans. 

As a part of the Shorebirds' new lease agreement with Wicomico County, a large number of improvements are planned to ensure that Perdue Stadium is able to entertain fans for generations to come.

As we enter our 24th season, it is our goal to continually look for ways to improve our stadium and the fan experience.
