Calling All Bull Durham/Durham Bulls Fans!

The Historic Durham Athletic Park is undergoing renovation, and the City of Durham, NC wants your help to ensure that the rehabilitation is accurate in detail. You can help bring back this piece of Americana - the DAP, as it is affectionately known, served as home field for the Durham Bulls for many years. It became known around the world when Durham and the DAP provided the setting for the movie Bull Durham.

The city is calling "all residents and former residents and Bulls fans everywhere" to send in images and photos of the DAP, going back to its construction in the 1930's.

Here are the instructions and guidelines for submission:

If possible, images need to include the date taken. Submissions should also include complete contact information (name, mailing address and phone number) so they can be returned by May 15, 2008. They can also be scanned and submitted via email, DAPphotos@durhamnc.gov. By U.S. mail, send them to:
