The Tigers have called Lakeland home since 1934 and have played at Joker Marchant Stadium since 1966. But beginning in 2017, there was a new name and new look for the historic stadium. Now named Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium finished a $48 million renovation that added more air-conditioned spaces for fans, additional concession areas, premium seating and a 360-degree walkway so fans can stroll around the stadium while keeping an eye on the game.

Stadium Location:

Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium 2301 Lakeland Hills Blvd.Lakeland, FL 33805

Fun Facts:

  • Because Lakeland is halfway between Orlando and Tampa, both metro areas are a quick drive away after a game. Or stay in town and tour the campus of Florida Southern College, featuring buildings designed by the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Annual events in Lakeland include Lakeland Pigfest and the Sun ‘N Fun Fly-In.
  • If you’re craving breakfast before the game, locals rave about Charlie’s Family Restaurant, which is nearly adjacent to Joker Marchant Stadium. If seafood is more your style, consider making reservations at Harry’s Seafood Bar and Grille where the dishes have a New Orleans spin.
