The Stadium
For Spring Training 2005, Space Coast Stadium welcomed the newest major league ball club, the Washington Nationals. It will also be the regular season home of the Milwaukee Brewers’ minor league farm team in the Class A Florida State League, the Brevard County Manatees.
- Dimensions: 340' to Left and Right Field, 404' to Center Field
- Capacity: 8,100
- Brief History:
Space Coast Stadium's bright teal seats hark back to its origins as the first spring training home of the Florida Marlins. Constructed in 1993, Space Coast - named for its location on Florida's Space Coast and its proximity to NASA's Kennedy Space Center - is one of Florida's premier baseball stadiums.
Just north of the Stadium is the Carl Barger Baseball Complex, where you can catch both major and minor leaguers honing their skills on five full-size practice fields and two half fields during Spring Training.
Outside the stadium you'll find a cast bronze statue depicting the immortal Mighty Casey, from the poem "Casey at the Bat." Standing 14 feet tall, Casey is a replica of the original, which is located at Joe Robbie Stadium. The statue is one of four made by Colorado artist, Mark Lundine.
