The home of the Jackson Generals (Class AA; Southern League) will be known as Generals Park after former rights holder Pringles passed on an extension of its naming deal.
Pringles is a large employer in Jackson and bought naming rights to the ballpark when it opened in 1998. We chatted a little with Generals ownership at the Winter Meetings, confirming that a deal was not forthcoming.
Right now the 2013 will see the ballpark name as Generals Park.
