The name originates as follows: Port City to recognize Wilmington as North Carolina's largest port. Roosters was chosen as part of an 'awakening' of professional baseball to the city of Wilmington.
Brooks Field was small compared to other stadiums I've been to. Only one row of billboards in the outfield. A fence went around most of the field. It's the only minor league game I've seen played at a university.
The Roosters moved to Mobile, AL for the 1997 season. As of the 2000 season, no other professional baseball team has been established in Wilmington. You can, of course, watch the UNCW Seahawks play at Brooks Field.
There's plenty to see and do in Wilmington: Golf, swim, eat. It's on the Atlantic coast, just two hours north of Myrtle Beach, SC.
