The Pirates train at McKechnie Field for spring training as a member of the Grapefruit League.
McKechnie Field has been the spring training home of the Pittsburgh Pirates since 1969. This stadium is one of the oldest spring training venues in the Grapefruit League, having played host to a variety of Major League Baseball teams since 1923. When the Pittsburgh Pirates celebrated its 40th year anniversary at McKechnie Field the team and the city of Bradenton signed an agreement extending the Pirates spring training engagement for another thirty years.
This is great news for Pittsburgh Pirates fans that love the tradition of spring training in Bradenton, Florida.

This is partly accomplished by providing scholarship funds to high school seniors pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Education, as well as teachers wishing to obtain their Masters Degree in Education.
When Pittsburgh Pirates fans come to McKechnie Field for a spring training game they walk into a classic stadium that the USA Today once called the “Fenway Park” of spring training ballparks.
