Space Coast Stadium

2016 is the last year for this stadium to host the Washington Nationals. They are moving south to Palm Beach for the 2017 spring training /​Grapefruit League baseball games. Too bad as this is not a bad stadium but kinda in the middle of nowhere so I guess that makes sense. Friendly staff and multiple food options here.

Nice ballpark in a great location south of Titusville and a few miles from I-​95. Although most of the day featured a nice, cooling breeze, once the breeze stopped, it was hot! After all, this is Florida in March which is actually summer for Floridians. Winter is January and the rest of the year is summer!
Views are great from virtually the entire ballpark. Food and drink is pretty much standard and like all sports venues, overpriced. Staff was polite and
Friendly.
Overall, a very pleasant way to spend a day. Too bad the Nationals are moving their spring training facility to West Palm in 2017. Oh yeah, game ended in tie after 9 innings which is a little unusual.

Have to admit, it’s really nice to have a big league ballpark literally in your back yard. Too bad those pansy Nats are moving away in 2017. The park is a little dated. It needs a re-​do, but that ain’t gonna happen. Half the seats are covered/​blocked during minor league season because of low attendance. And there are very few covered areas that will shield you from the sun or from rain. And it gets HOT. Some idiot decided to build this place facing due south. In Florida. In the summer. Duh. Same old high beer and concession prices as any other ballpark. Enjoy it during Spring 2017 for the last time — because after that, the fat lady will sing :(

I love going out to Space Coast Stadium to watch the Brevard County Manatees. Evening games are great! Free to park, $ 8 game tickets, and reasonably priced stadium food. It’s always a good time with the family to have a beer, eat a hot dog, and watch some baseball.

I was very impressed by the space Coast Stadium. The space Coast Stadium is located actually in Vieira Florida even though the address says it’s located in Melbourne.
The space Coast Stadiums true home team is the Brevard manatees who are a minor-​league affiliate baseball team. But every single year the Washington nationals use the space coast stadium as their spring training location. The reason that I come here to see you games are because I have an aunt uncle that live in the area and it’s the closest stadium to watch the New York Mets when they play the Washington nationals.
For spring training there is not a bad seat in the entire park. Tickets are cheap they start at seven dollars and they go up to $ 35 for right behind home plate. This is a great value because at Citi Field to sit down in the lower levels you’re spending at least $ 150. Season tickets at the stadium go for five to $ 600 for a season. I could go to two games in the city and spend that.
The atmosphere here is very nice there were a lot of New York fans at the game I was surprised. We sat right behind home plate. The one thing that you do want to take into consideration is it is a first come first serve ballpark. If you are the first person to buy tickets for a game in the section directly behind home plate. You will get the best seats. If you wait until the day of the game and they do have seats left behind home plate or in any section you will more than likely be sitting at the top end of the section and not down towards the front. It’s first come first serve. But who really cares because the seats are really good and the most expensive seat $ 35 you cannot beat that.
The staff here mainly consist of older retired people. I noticed that there was 4 to 5 sheriffs that were just kind of walking around the ballpark. I went to purchase a spring training T-​shirt and the young guy that was working behind the counter had a really nice conversation with me he was making fun of me because I had a met shirt on and we had a good talk about baseball for a while.
Overall I do recommend coming to see a game here. There really isn’t a bad seat in the house if you do have kids I recommend bringing them here to experience a game.

I went here for spring training. The Braves vs. Nats. The parking situation is as described a large grassy/​dirty (muddy after the rain) lot. Once inside the stadium our seats were in section 218. This section provides shade as well as an overhead lip which will shelter you from the rain. It is an older park but worth the trip if you’re in the area. They keep the grounds very clean. Food is expensive but that’s to be expected at a ball park these days. The only disappointing thing is that the stadium doesn’t show the pitch speed on the scoreboard. That’s always fun to see.

So the park is nice and very cheap to get into ($ 8?). I took my family of five and thought we would be having a fun and inexpensive night at the ballpark. Well, we would have if we would have eaten first. I was very disappointed at the price of the concessions. They are the same prices as the MLB parks! Beers are $ 8-​$ 9 and a bag of popcorn is $ 5!!! seriously. we ended up spending over $ 50 for a couple hot dogs, and some burgers. Come on folks, this is minor leagues, lets make the food prices reasonable.

I was in town and saw that spring training games were happening so I decided the check one out. The stadium is pretty easy to get to and has plenty of parking but they do charge you like $ 7 or something to park in the dirt. The stadium is nice and well maintained. They have plenty of food and drink options throughout. It was super hot so it would have been nice to have more shaded seats. Lucky for me the game was not packed so I was able to move over to a shady area. This was surprising since the home team Nationals were playing Miami.

Had a wonderful family night watching the Brevard Manatees minor league baseball game. Players seemed like good guys. Throwing balls to the little kids. Great views. Fun marketing stunts. Hidden gem. This place should be packed but was barely full on a Wednesday night. Go!

So, I’m actually not familiar with sports at all, unlike the other reviewers of Space Coast Stadium… I ended up here because I was attending a huge community event that was utilizing the space as a venue. I have seen my fair share of stadiums, though, and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice and efficient Space Coast Stadium actually was.
The whole venue is impeccably clean, spacious, and actually aesthetically pleasing, with little homages to the Space Coast (like a shuttle, and such) here and there.
Parking was also really easy to do, and the stadium is very navigable, even for little kids.
None of the food stands were very vegetarian-​friendly, so I didn’t get to try those, but I wasn’t really there for the food, I guess.
Overall, good job, Space Coast Stadium. If only more people were exposed to you, people would see that Brevard County can actually do nice things…

The stadium is good and none of the seats are really bad seats. I’ve been here for Manatee’s games and National’s spring training games. My only complaint? The concessions. Some, like the dogs, are good. Others, like the taco salad, should be avoided at all costs. Go hungry, try starting a diet, develop anorexia, just make sure you avoid that one!

Went here for a spring training game — Nats vs Tigers. The stadium was easy to find with excellent directions on the website. It was a Monday afternoon and the place was fairly full. We could only get bleacher seats. The best part of seating in the bleachers was the price $ 12.
We sat along the third base line and had multiple chances to get a fowl ball but just lost out each time.
My husband enjoyed the world of beers venue. Had a great Kona koko brown ale.

Nice stadium for being on the older side. Great views from almost anywhere. Expensive food and take way too long to pay — especially when you pay with a credit card. Quality of food — just ok. Bright side — easy in and out.

Underrated park. This isn’t one of the massive new «mini MLB park’ style spring training parks. It’s nothing fancy and doesn’t have that many shaded seats but you’re close to the field and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The staff is VERY friendly and you can get some decent fried shrimp at this park. Plus, how can you go wrong with a vendor who yells «ICE COLD BEER!» at a volume you can clearly hear on TV?
I’ll be back here next spring if the Nats don’t move.

I love my Manatees. Be sure to bring your glove and shades. The players are friendly and sign balls for the kids after the game. Great memories from when I was a kid and love taking the kids there now.

Ahh, Spring Training! Baseball in its purest form. I’d take spring training games over regular season games any day of the year. When I was moving to San Francisco in 2004, I saw a game here with my buddy Keith — the Montréal Expos (in their last year before moving to Washington DC & changing their name to the Nationals) vs. the Detroit Tigers — & caught a foul ball which I still keep in my car as a momento of the trip. Except that my friend Liz wrote «River Phoenix never change» on it. So really, it’s a momento of the trip AND of my friend Liz.
Extra Bonus Points because Space Coast Stadium is current home to the Brevard County Manatees.
