Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium

Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium sits at the south end of Abacoa Town Center — a planned New Urbanist community built around the ballpark in the late 1990s. The Town Center's pedestrian Main Street, with restaurants and bars in two-story mixed-use buildings, runs directly from the stadium gates and is the most walkable pre-game environment of any Florida spring-training ballpark. Florida Atlantic University's Jupiter campus, the FAU Honors College Wilkes campus, and the Scripps Research Institute Florida (now part of UF Health) sit adjacent within Abacoa. Jupiter Inlet, the historic 1860 Jupiter Lighthouse on the Loxahatchee River, and the Atlantic beachfront sit a short drive east. Palm Beach Gardens — with the Gardens Mall and PGA Boulevard's restaurants — sits a short drive south. The neighborhood reads as the most walkable Grapefruit League pre-game setting.

Plan to arrive 60-90 minutes before first pitch for spring-training games in March — Abacoa's parking inventory is generous but the pedestrian Town Center walk-up scene gets festive early, especially on Cardinals dates that pull a heavy St. Louis snowbird turnout. For Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals Florida State League games during the summer regular season, parking flow is gentle and a 45-minute arrival works. The defining quirk of Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium is that two MLB clubs share it: the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals both hold spring training here (a rare two-team shared-facility arrangement) and both clubs operate their Florida State League Single-A affiliates here year-round (the Jupiter Hammerheads for the Marlins and the Palm Beach Cardinals for the Cardinals). The ballpark was renamed Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in 2018 under a naming-rights extension; it was Roger Dean Stadium at opening in 1998 — both names reference the Roger Dean Automotive dealership family. Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the relevant team site before going.

Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium opened in 1998 as the shared Grapefruit League spring-training home of the Florida (now Miami) Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals — a rare and pioneering two-team spring-training facility model that put two complete player-development complexes on a single Abacoa campus. The two clubs also run their Single-A Florida State League affiliates out of the ballpark year-round: the Jupiter Hammerheads (Marlins) and the Palm Beach Cardinals (Cardinals), making this the only ballpark in baseball that serves as the year-round home of two distinct minor-league franchises. The venue was named Roger Dean Stadium at opening and renamed Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in 2018 under a naming-rights extension — both names reference the Roger Dean Automotive dealership family, longtime Treasure Coast Chevrolet dealers. The ballpark anchors Abacoa Town Center, a New Urbanist master-planned community built around the stadium in the late 1990s and one of the most walkable spring-training environments in MLB. Capacity sits around 6,940. The Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals shifted from the High-A Florida State League to the Single-A Florida State League under MLB's 2021 minor-league reorganization.
