Fun Facts

Originally opened in 1923, LECOM Park is the spring training home of the Pittsburgh Pirates and is one of the oldest stadiums still in use today.

The renovation included new seating, improved facilities, and a boardwalk, enhancing the fan experience while preserving its historic charm.

The stadium was named after Bill McKechnie, a Hall of Fame manager, until it was renamed LECOM Park in 2017 after a naming rights agreement.

The park is a venue for various community events and festivals, making it a hub for local activities beyond sports.

The stadium features a Spanish Mission-style façade, which is uncommon among baseball parks and adds to its historical allure.

The park can accommodate 8,500 spectators, making it an intimate yet lively setting for baseball fans.

Its proximity to the river provides a scenic backdrop, enhancing the overall experience for visitors attending games or events.
