Plant City Stadium
is a
stadium
in
Plant City, Florida
with a capacity of about 6,000. It was built in 1988 as the new
spring training
home of the
Cincinnati Reds
, who had previously trained at
Al Lopez Field
in nearby
Tampa
for many years. In 1998, the Reds left Plant City for
Ed Smith Stadium
in
Sarasota
. After the departure of the Reds, Plant City Stadium mainly hosted local amateur baseball and softball games.
In 2012, the stadium became the home pitch for several VisionPro Institute developmental soccer teams, including
VSI Tampa Bay FC
of
USL Pro
,
VSI Tampa Bay FC
of the
USL Premier Development League
, and
VSI Tampa Bay FC
of the
USL W-League
.
[1]
In early 2020, the
Tampa Bay Vipers
of the
XFL
renovated and took over the facility for use as its practice facilities.
[2]
Starting in the spring of 2023, Plant City Stadium will be the home to the Four Corners Upper School Coyotes Baseball Team.
