About Joe O'brien Field Tn

Welcome to Joe O'Brien Field, the home of the Elizabethton River Riders. Located in Elizabethton, Tennessee, this historic ballpark sits at 208 North Holly Lane and carries a rich legacy dating back to Riverside Park’s opening in 1974. In 1980 the field was named Joe O\'Brien Field, and in 2019 the Northeast Community Credit Union (NCCU) Ballpark naming rights were secured, keeping the field name unchanged. With a capacity in the range historically cited between 1,500 and 2,000, the ballpark features three primary seating areas: reserved seating directly behind home plate, bleachers along the first and third baselines, and elevated press/sky boxes. It remains a beloved community venue for baseball in Northeast Tennessee.

Whether you’re planning for a single-game visit or a local night out, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, getting there, and nearby places to stay and eat. Secure your seats for the next Elizabethton River Riders game and enjoy a straightforward, friendly buying experience with us.

Seating and comfort: The ballpark’s seating is organized into three main areas. Reserved seating is available behind home plate for those who want an up-close view, bleachers line the 1B and 3B sides for a traditional ballpark experience, and elevated press/sky boxes offer a different vantage point for media and VIP attendees. The setup is designed for easy access and clear sightlines across the diamond.

Parking: Free parking is available at the ballpark, making arrival simple for local fans and out-of-town guests. Driving directions are straightforward, with guidance for nearby routes and exits, so you can avoid unnecessary detours on game day.

The naming rights arrangement in 2019 ensures the NCCU branding rests alongside the Joe O\'Brien Field name for local fans and visiting teams alike.
