The Stadium District is a neighborhood in the northwest corner of Lancaster. The neighborhood gets its name from the minor league baseball stadium that was built in 2004, bringing professional baseball back to Lancaster for the first time since 1961. Around the same time, beginning in the late 1990s and into the early 2000s, this area of Lancaster was seen as prime redevelopment land.
The neighborhood is home to many old tobacco warehouses, where tobacco was processed and stored after being brought in from the surrounding farmland of Lancaster County. Factories and railyards also used to dominate this neighborhood, but as industries and railroads made better use of space and expanded when necessary into Manheim Township to the north, land in Lancaster was available. Old tobacco warehouses are still around today, most of which have been redeveloped into residential space, hotel space, or office space, and land used as factories and railyards was cleared for parkland and redevelopment.
