The Uwharrie Wampus Cats will begin our third season in 2025. We're very excited about some changes coming to our ballpark ahead of this season, which will include new lights, improved seating areas, a hospitality section, and more!
Making our home at Don Montgomery Park in Albemarle, North Carolina's downtown area, the team will again play a schedule of more than 40 games during the summer and compete with some of the best summer collegiate teams in the Southeast.
Our opponents this summer will include the Carolina Disco Turkeys, Mooresville Spinners, Queen City Corndogs, Marion Hungry Mothers, Boone Bigfoots, High Point-Thomasville Hi-Toms, and more.
What are Wampus Cats games like?
We offer America's pastime, concessions, cold beer, and affordable, family-friendly entertainment much like going to a Kannapolis Cannon Ballers or Charlotte Knights game.
At the friendly surroundings of Don Montgomery, we'll have seating for hundreds in bleachers, new tabletop and picnic seating areas. Fans can also bring along lawn chairs from home for our lawn areas. We'll have the concession stand open and beer sales at all of our home games and for big games will have local food trucks, as well.
What is a wampus cat?
If you’re from Albemarle or the Uwharries, you may have been in the proximity of a wampus cat all your life and not known it.
The wampus cat is a cat-like creature in American folklore and can take on a trickster quality. Throughout generations in our region and throughout the South, reported livestock thefts and unexplained property damage, we contend, has often been due to wampus cats.
Some even think the wampus cat to be a shapeshifter. This summer they’ll take the shape of college ballplayers representing our area on the diamond.
