Originally built in 1923, its first tenant was the St. Louis Cardinals. In the early 1990s, the ballpark was rebuilt and it's named after former Bradenton resident and Hall of Fame manager Bill McKechnie. The Pirates have been playing here for more than three decades. McKechnie Field has a seating capacity of over 6,600 and will have light for the first time in 2008.
