Clipper Magazine Stadium, Baseball stadium in Lancaster, United States
Clipper Magazine Stadium, also known as Penn Medicine Park, is a baseball stadium in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, home to the Lancaster Stormers and the Franklin & Marshall Diplomats. The venue features an artificial turf field, seating for 8,000 people, and a brick facade with steel beams that nods to the area's industrial past.
The stadium opened on May 11, 2005, after a long effort to bring professional baseball back to Lancaster, with the Barnstormers losing their first game to the Atlantic City Surf. In 2025, the University of Pennsylvania Health System purchased the naming rights, and the venue became Penn Medicine Park.
The ballpark's food stands offer local flavors like whoopie pies, cheesesteaks, and soft pretzels, giving visitors a taste of Pennsylvania Dutch and Philadelphia cuisine. The team also hosts an annual Hispanic Heritage Celebration in partnership with the Puerto Rican Festival, a tradition that honors Lancaster's Hispanic community.
The stadium is in the Northwest Corridor neighborhood, near Franklin & Marshall College, with entrances on North Prince and Frederick streets. Visitors can find parking nearby and should plan to arrive early on game days to explore the food stands and kids' areas.
The site was once known as the "base ball ground" in the late 19th century, and the current stadium sits on a former rail yard. A mural at the home-plate entrance honors former mayor Richard M. Scott, who started the effort to build the ballpark.
