  • Brightleaf Square

    Shopping & dining

  • Durham Bulls Athletic Park

    Dining

    Durham's food scene

    Durham is a nationally recognized food city — a MICHELIN Guide city as of 2025, with James Beard–honored kitchens — so client dinners and team meals are an easy walk from your loft.

  • Duke Chapel & West Campus

    Sightseeing

    Duke Chapel & West Campus

    The soaring Gothic Duke Chapel and the university’s stone West Campus are right by the stadium — a classic stop on a game-day visit.

  • DPAC

    Shows

    The Durham Performing Arts Center — touring Broadway and big-name concerts — sits right beside the ballpark; pair a game with a show the same weekend.

  • Duke Homestead & Historic Durham

    History

    Duke Homestead & Historic Durham

    Durham’s tobacco-history sites sit north toward the stadium — a quick detour for a longer stay.

  • Nasher Museum of Art

    Arts
