For almost 100 years, LECOM Park, formerly McKechnie Field, has been a source of fun and excitement in Bradenton. LECOM Park was originally built in 1923. It has undergone a number of significant renovations over the last three decades to provide fans modern amenities while maintaining the feeling of a classic ballpark. The iconic Spanish mission style façade was constructed during a significant facelift of the stadium in the early 1990s. Lights came about in 2008.

The centerpiece of the renovations came in 2013 when the Pirates, the City of Bradenton, and Manatee County partnered on a $10 million renovation of fan areas which included a 19,000 square foot boardwalk spanning the outfield. Updates also included new group areas with enhanced sight lines to the field, expanded restroom facilities, new concessions locations and an enlarged Fan Plaza. Massive palm trees now dot the landscape, augmenting the charm of the 90-year-old stadium. Every individual reserved seat was removed from the park, and 4,600 new, more comfortable seats were installed. And new covered bleachers with 570 seats were added in left field, expanding LECOM Park's capacity to more than 8,500. In addition, a new state-of-the-art clubhouse and office building was built in 2015, giving the Pirates one of the best spring training facilities in the Grapefruit League.

LECOM Park is the spring home of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the full time home of their Class-A affiliate, the Bradenton Marauders.
