Roger Dean Stadium, Baseball stadium in Jupiter, United States
Roger Dean Stadium is a baseball facility in Jupiter, Florida, that seats around 6,900 fans across two levels with luxury suites. The complex includes separate practice areas and training grounds that serve the two professional teams based here.
Roger Dean Stadium opened in 1998 in Jupiter's Abacoa community; Cliff Politte threw the first pitch that spring. Through 2002 the Montreal Expos shared it with the Cardinals before the swap tied to Jeffrey Loria's purchase of the Marlins. Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne damaged it badly in 2004. In February 2022 it hosted lockout negotiations between MLB and the players' union.
The venue hosts two professional baseball teams that share the facility and conduct their daily operations here. Local fans gather to watch spring training games and regular-season events throughout the year.
The venue has ample parking and numerous food options available throughout the grounds. Plan to spend extra time exploring different areas, especially during spring training when both teams are active.
Roger Dean Stadium is the only complex in the country hosting four minor league teams: the Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals in the Florida State League, plus the Florida Complex League Marlins and Cardinals. In February 2022 it was the site of negotiations between Major League Baseball and the players' union during the lockout.
