Yankees Field #2

A look at Yankees Field #2 from the first-base bleacher.

From the batter’s vantage point, Raymond James Stadium looms in the background.

• Location: Steinbrenner Field Complex, Dale Mabry Highway (US 92), Tampa, Fla.
• Opened: 1996
• Home team: Tampa Tarpons, Florida State League (2025); Hillsborough Community College Hawks, Suncoast Conference (some games)

The facility has limited seating, only metal bleachers. Concessions are similarly limited, and are nonexistent for some games.

The Yankees have hosted a season-opening event involving NCAA Division 2 schools. Some games are played on Steinbrenner Field, while some are played here. The Hillsborough Hawks also play some of their home schedule on this field, playing other games at the Himes Field complex across the street that is also managed by the Yankees.

The Tampa Bay Rays, displaced from Tropicana Field in 2025 thanks to hurricane damage in October 2024, made arrangements with the Yankees to use Steinbrenner Field as their home for a season. This, in turn, moved the Yankees’ Florida State League team, the Tampa Tarpons, to this field for most of their schedule, although they are playing three games on the main field.
