About LECOM Park

LECOM Park is a historic ballpark located at 1611 9th Street West in Bradenton, Florida. Originally opened in 1923 and formerly known as McKechnie Field, it has been extensively renovated over the past three decades, including major modernizations in 1993 and 2013 that added modern amenities while preserving its traditional ballpark character. The City of Bradenton owns the venue, and it is operated in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. Capacity is approximately 8,500, giving the park an intimate scale compared with larger modern Spring Training complexes.

The venue is best known as the Spring Training home of the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball and the summer home of the Bradenton Marauders of the Florida State League. Its event calendar is primarily baseball-focused, with Pirates Grapefruit League exhibition games in late winter and early spring, Marauders games through the summer, and occasional community and special events. As a longstanding Spring Training site and a cornerstone of the Grapefruit League, LECOM Park is considered one of the most historic Spring Training venues in Florida.

Its classic single-ballpark feel, close-to-the-action seating, and long association with professional baseball make LECOM Park a distinctive Bradenton sports venue.

Location & Transportation

LECOM Park is located at 1611 9th Street West, Bradenton, FL 34205 — in central Bradenton just off 9th Street West.

Driving and Parking: Most visitors arrive by car. Parking is available in lots and on nearby streets around the ballpark, and arriving early is advisable for popular Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Training dates when crowds build before first pitch.

Transit: Manatee County Area Transit provides local bus service in Bradenton. Transit options are limited, so driving, rideshare, or staying nearby is often the most practical approach for game day.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate in the Bradenton and Sarasota area. Given the ballpark’s modest size, drop-off and pickup near the entrance is practical, though post-game demand can create a short wait after popular dates.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available throughout Bradenton, along the US-41 and Cortez Road corridors, and in nearby Sarasota and the Gulf beach communities, including Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key.

Venue Navigation

LECOM Park has a compact, straightforward layout built around a single-level grandstand bowl. Understanding the basic layout before arriving helps you move quickly from the entrance to the concourse, seating areas, concessions, and restrooms.

Entrances and Access: Main entry is off 9th Street West. Because LECOM Park is a smaller ballpark, access points are straightforward and the concourses are easy to navigate.

Seating Levels: The venue is organized primarily as a single-level grandstand wrapping behind home plate and down the baselines, with a main concourse serving box seats, reserved grandstand seating, and berm or lawn areas in some configurations.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available, and the single-level layout makes most areas easy to reach.

Getting to Your Section: Seats are easy to locate from the main concourse, and staff are available to assist. The intimate scale of the ballpark helps keep walking distances manageable.

Dining Options

Inside LECOM Park

LECOM Park offers standard ballpark concessions, including hot dogs, snacks, soft drinks, and beer. Premium and group hospitality areas are available for Spring Training, giving groups and premium-seat buyers added food-and-beverage options for select games.

Outside the Venue — Bradenton

Downtown Bradenton, the nearby Village of the Arts, and the Riverwalk area offer restaurants and bars within a short drive of the ballpark. These areas are practical options for fans planning a meal before or after a Spring Training or Minor League game.

Security & Policies

LECOM Park maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: MLB and MiLB venues typically enforce bag-size restrictions and may require clear bags. Policies vary by event, so checking current guidelines before arrival helps prevent delays at entry.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Standard ballpark restrictions typically apply, including weapons, outside food and beverages, professional camera equipment, and other restricted items deemed a safety risk.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once you exit. Event-specific re-entry rules are shown on the event listing.

How Much Do Tickets to LECOM Park Cost?

LECOM Park ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Bradenton Marauders Minor League Baseball games to Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Training matchups.

For Bradenton Marauders games, tickets can start around $5 and commonly range up to about $20, depending on the opponent, date, and seat location. These games are often the most budget-friendly way to experience baseball at LECOM Park.

For Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Training games, tickets are typically in the $15 to $50+ range, with premium and group seating priced higher. Weekends, popular Grapefruit League opponents, and marquee spring dates can push demand higher, especially for seats behind home plate, along the infield, and close to the field.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing, particularly for popular Spring Training dates. As inventory shrinks and the game date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise.

Getting Ready for Your LECOM Park Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor Florida ballpark where parking, sun, and game-day crowds can shape the experience.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early for Spring Training games, as parking and crowds build before first pitch.
• Wear the right footwear. LECOM Park is mostly flat and single-level, so comfortable footwear is fine for general access.
• Dress in layers. As an outdoor venue in Florida, LECOM Park can bring sun, heat, and humidity, while spring games can have cooler evenings. Sun protection and hydration are advisable.
• Know your entrance. The compact layout makes entrance navigation simple, and checking your section before arriving can help you move directly from the concourse to your seats.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
