What do you do with a water tower that's located only several yards from a baseball stadium?
Make it look like a baseball, naturally.
That's what the good folks did in Zebulon, North Carolina. The tower overlooks Five County Stadium, the home of the Carolina Mudcats of the Carolina League. One of the employees of the team described the tower as iconic, and in minor-league baseball circles he's probably right.
The stadium here has a couple of decades under its belt, but it still looks very good. The seats right behind the plate are close enough to call balls and strikes, and the upper decks looks like a great place to watch the game too. The facility also has a huge video board, for those who like to watch TV with their ball games.
The tower and stadium are right off the highway, so baseball fans definitely should take the slight detour.
The problem is that the team left after the 2025 season, and the stadium is in something resembling limbo. But the tower still looks good.
