George M. Steinbrenner Field
A spring evening in the Bronx of the South — Yankee pinstripes, a Sabrett dog, and an all-you-can-eat hack that broke the bank in our favor.
Watch the Visit
A quick walkthrough of the ballpark, the food, and the sunset over Yankees country.
The Basics
Everything you need to know at a glance.
Parking & Pre-Game Recon
Get the lay of the land before first pitch.
General Parking
Park across the street at Raymond James Stadium and use the pedestrian footbridge that takes you right over Dale Mabry Highway to the gates. Easy in, easy out.
Premium Parking
Premium parking is directly in front of the stadium. Worth it if you want to skip the bridge walk or you’re going on a hot day.
Arrive Early
There are three practice fields around the perimeter where you can catch the Yankees warming up and score some autographs. Stadium doors open 90 minutes prior to first pitch.
Stadium Entry
Two main gates, a clear bag policy, and a few things to leave in the car.
Two Main Gates
Enter via the Right Field Gate or the Home Plate Gate. Have your mobile ticket ready to scan, hats off, and pockets empty for the metal detector.
Leave These Behind
Strollers, umbrellas, and outside food or beverage containers are not permitted. Steinbrenner Field is also a tobacco-free facility — no smoking anywhere on property.
The Concourse
Once inside you’ll find the largest Yankees gift shop in the southeast, plus food, drink, and bar options throughout. Make a lap before you settle in.
The Ticket Hack
Skip Ticketmaster. The real deal is hiding on a different app.
Gametime Loge Box
Snagged a Loge seat for $36 (normally $111) on the Gametime app. The kicker? It included all-you-can-eat food from a curated menu plus beer, wine, and soft drinks. Easily the best value in the ballpark — bring an appetite.
Webull Pen Club
The Loge ticket unlocks access to the Webull Pen Club on the first base side — a proper indoor bar with TVs, seating, and a view of the field. A nice escape if the Florida sun gets aggressive.
Replica of Yankee Stadium
The field dimensions are an exact replica of Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, and the scalloped grandstand frieze mimics the original too. Look for the mini Monument Park beyond left-center.
What We Ate
Two ballpark classics, courtesy of the all-you-can-eat menu.
Sabrett Hot Dog
An all-beef Sabrett — the New York street-cart staple — served with traditional fixings. You can’t go to a Yankees ballpark and skip the dog. It absolutely delivered.
Fish Sandwich
Beer-battered cod on a potato bun with tartar sauce and crisp lettuce. Honestly didn’t expect much from a ballpark fish sandwich — it was excellent. Crispy, flaky, properly seasoned.
The Full Lineup
314 Burger (Angus, bacon-onion jam, havarti), Cuban Burger (breaded pork, ham, swiss, pickles), Southwest Chicken Quesadilla, Buffalo Wings, and BBQ-seasoned House Fries with garlic ranch & harissa mayo.
A Little History
From Legends Field to Steinbrenner Field — and the year it became a major-league home.
From the Ground Up
Ground broken in 1994. The first spring training game was played on March 1, 1996, when the Yankees hosted the Cleveland Indians. The $30M build was fully publicly funded by Hillsborough County. Originally named Legends Field.
Renamed for The Boss
The ballpark was renamed in honor of longtime Yankees owner and Tampa resident George Steinbrenner on March 27, 2008, following unanimous resolutions from Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa.
The Rays Year
After Hurricane Milton devastated Tropicana Field, the Tampa Bay Rays played their entire 2025 MLB regular season here — making the 11,026-seat venue the smallest ballpark in Major League Baseball that year. The Rays returned to a repaired Trop for Opening Day 2026.
Tributes On-Site
The ballpark features a mini Monument Park honoring retired Yankee greats, and a 9/11 Memorial containing an actual piece of steel recovered from the World Trade Center.
