Overview

UPMC Park is a multi-purpose stadium located in downtown Erie, Pennsylvania, serving as the home field for the Erie SeaWolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The venue underwent a $12 million renovation in 2017 that modernized facilities, expanded concourses, and added the UPMC Health Plan Stadium Club. It features a capacity of approximately 6,000 spectators with seating configurations that include traditional bowl stands, premium suites, and a grass berm in the outfield. The stadium is constructed within a tight urban footprint, integrating seamlessly into the city's street grid. Beyond professional baseball, the park hosts community events, concerts, and regional amateur tournaments throughout the year. The playing surface consists of natural grass maintained to professional minor league standards. The stadium utilizes a state-of-the-art LED lighting system for night games.
