Opening in 1923,
the Spring Training home of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
McKechnie Field, is the oldest stadium in the Grapefruit
League. 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.
