The Best Stadium in the Grapefuit League

With 190,000 square feet of fun and excitement mixed with America’s favorite pastime, Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium is a must-see Central Florida landmark with activities that everyone will enjoy.

Multiple Seating Options

There are multiple seating options, including traditional stadium seating, grass and picnic areas, and premium indoor accommodations. Since Florida offers plenty of beautiful sunshine, 41% of the seats are covered, with the option of a roof extender for additional shade.

  • A unique seating option, perfect for large groups is the Berm, a 45-foot sloped hill with a capacity of 400 people that encompasses all of left field.
  • If you’re looking for more upscale seating, The 34 Club, presented by Miller Lite, offers 203 air-conditioned indoor and covered outdoor seat options with an all-you-can-eat buffet.
  • The Hooters Dugout is the hotspot for meeting players and snagging autographs while partaking in an all-you-can-eat Hooters and ballpark food selection.
  • The Margaritaville Deck and the Pepsi Pavilion are the perfect spots to take in the game with all your friends.

Classic Eats

You will definitely not leave the game hungry. Of course they’re serving up traditional stadium eats such as hotdogs and hamburgers, brats with sauerkraut, turkey burgers, and grilled chicken sandwiches. However, at the back of the main concourse, you’ll find delicious, unconventional food options such as big turkey legs, pulled pork sandwiches, BBQ nachos, and a Flint-style Coney Island dog. Beer lovers – be sure to check out the craft beer bar on the first base side concourse and sip on some creative Florida brews and other popular draft selections.
