Jackie Robinson Ballpark — Attraction in Daytona Beach

Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona is the home of the Cincinnati Reds’ Low A minor league team - the Tortugas. The stadium dates back to the 1910s and has hosted many different teams. The park’s biggest claim to fame - widely displayed throughout the complex - is that it’s where Jackie Robinson played his first Spring Training games.

A historical venue, but one certainly lacking in the modern creature comforts many fans take for granted. The General Admission area consists of a large (plate to outfield) uncovered grandstand with bench seating (no backs) along the third base line. The reserved section is made up of three covered sections - one behind the plate, and two along the first base line. Aside from the first few rows, the remaining seats have partially obstructed views owing to the stanchions that support the roof. Field level ‘VIP’ seats, with wait service are available.

We watched the first two games of the 2022 season. On opening night one of the two ticket booths was not 'functioning' because it lacked wireless internet access to the teams ticketing system. This caused a fairly large back up at the remaining ticket booth. Those issues were resolved on the second evening.

Ticket, food and beverage (adult & non-adult) prices were very reasonable. There are adequate stall/vendor space for selling food and drink.

In game 'minor league' entertainment was average - early season bugs still need to be worked out to allow 'roaming' video camera feeds to be displayed on...

It has been long time since I ventured to Daytona. Not much has changed which isn't necessarily a good thing. Things certainly have remained the same for this ballpark too. The ballpark is old and dated but has some charm much like McCormick Field in Asheville. I could appreciate the history of the place and how they manually change the scoreboard. With the more modern stadiums being built today people require more of their game day experience than a walk down memory lane. Unlike McCormick Field who have made some decent renovations through the years Jackie Robinson Memorial Stadium's​ renovations are sorely lacking but maybe they are ok for the demographics of a large population of the paying customers are as aged as the stadium so maybe it is a good fit in that regard. I was not impressed with either stadium I visited in the Florida League enough to make it a truly memorable experience.

The night I went which was opening day the stadium was packed with people. The consessions stand was backed up way too much for that kind of crowd. The team store is just an outpost within the park. Parking was plentiful even with the crowd. If you like seeing vintage stadiums or a native of the area then by all means check it out. If you are a minor league baseball enthusiast like myself then check it off the list that you saw the Tortugas play here and go to Jacksonville, Charlotte, Birmingham, Pensacola, Greenville, Columbia, and...

Incredible experience. Small town feel from parking attendants to people at gate. Parking surrounds the park although at the the time there is some construction going on probably to expand either parking or park itself. Every employee is easily recognisable by their Hawaiian shirts and smiles. This makes for happy patrons. Mostly everyone is a " regular" and know each other but doesn't take but one visit to be welcomed to the family. I strongly suggest visiting. The concession prices are on par for any venue not going to lie but the experience is worth it. The ticket prices are priced economically there is three reserved sections with shade and a bleacher section without shade. They keep you involved in between innings. Season tickets include parking and is about half the price of their single game tickets. There is an option to break down the season or buy for the whole season. One of the whole season packages includes wait service. Different nights have different themes ie all you...
