Bright House Networks Field is a state-of-the art sports complex and stadium. The 28 million dollar facility was completed in 2004. It can accommodate 8,500 people - 7,000 in traditional stands with an additional 1,500 in grass berm areas just beyond left and right field where fans can spread out on blankets and enjoy a more relaxed perspective.
The sports complex among the best in the country is home to the Clearwater Threshers, a Florida State League team, and during spring training for the Philadelphia Phillies, MLB team.
The stadium acquired its current name through a 10 year sponsorship agreement with Bright House Networks - the cable/internet/phone company.
The facility features a spacious modern stadium with wonderful sight lines and a magnificent 360-degree concourse for the fans to walk around and check out the movements from every possible angle. The amenities at the park include group picnic spots, field and loge box seats, luxury sky box seats, bleachers, a tiki-hut pavilion, children's play area and an outstanding full view video scoreboard. A party deck is located down the left field line where groups ranging from 20 to 300 can take part in a pre-game feast. The tiki-hut pavilion is a great place to enjoy a Margarita and several adult beverages besides relaxing in the shaded atmosphere to enjoy the game.
