Attending a Nationals Game at Space Coast Stadium
After
Sharing Jupiter Roger Dean Stadium with the St. Louis Cardinals, the
Washington Nationals now call Space Coast Stadium in Viera their spring
training home. It was completed in 1994 as the spring-training home of
the Florida Marlins, who trained there through 2002.
There is
a definite space theme to Space Coast Stadium, an homage to nearby
Kennedy Space Center. Fans are greeted by a US Space Shuttle model
dedicated to America’s pioneering Spirit in Space Exploration. Each foul
pole at Space Coast Stadium pays tribute to the lost crews of both the
Challenger and Columbia.
Space
Coast Stadium is a wonderful place to catch a Spring Training game
primarily due to some significant improvements to the park for 2008 such
as an electronic scoreboard with a 4 mega-pixel video screen, a brand
new lighting system, and an updated PA system. The 2008 improvements
come as an addition to the renovations that Brevard County commissioners
committed $2.6 million in tourist taxes to for a new roof and canopies,
interior and exterior paint jobs, improved drainage and new seats,
changed to dark blue and the railings painted red to match the Nationals
colors. Added for the 2010 season was a left field tiki bar and
picnic area.
