Penn Medicine Park: More Than a Ballpark

What the name change means, the season, tickets, parking, and year-round fun

What & When: The Name Change

• Until February 12, 2025, the stadium at 650 North Prince Street was known as Clipper Magazine Stadium

• As of that date, a multi-year partnership with Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health (LG Health) was announced, and the stadium was rebranded as Penn Medicine Park.

• The goals of the partnership include making the park not only a sports venue, but also a hub for health, wellness, and community engagement: health screenings, wellness programs, healthier food options, etc.

How the Change Helps the Community

Here are a few ways this rebranding and partnership bring benefits:

• Health outreach & awareness: By teaming with a major healthcare system, the venue will host health screenings and wellness programs, helping people in Lancaster access health resources in a familiar, accessible venue.

• Healthy food options: The plan includes expanding healthier concessions at the park to give fans more nutritious choices.

• Community gathering space: Beyond baseball, Penn Medicine Park is being positioned as a place for concerts, festivals, trade shows, charitable events etc., making it more useful year-round for the community.

• Awareness of top local health issues: The partnership helps draw attention to health challenges in the region, giving LG Health another platform for education and prevention.

Season, Tickets & Types of Plans

• The Stormers’ baseball season begins around May (for 2025, opening was May 25).

• They offer different ticket/package options: full-season tickets, half-season tickets, flex plans (10-game etc.), and special plans such as “Silver Stormers” for over-55 fans, and kid-club memberships (“Storm Force”) for younger fans.

• Ticket pricing (for general admission) ranges roughly between $13 to about $22.50 for regular games.

• For some events, prices can go higher (concerts, etc.), depending on seating, event type.

Parking & Venue Logistics

• There are 3 main parking lots on game days that are free to the public, offering over 1,200 parking spaces.

• Bag policy: small clutch/fanny pack sized bags, clear bags under certain dimensions, medical/diaper bags allowed.

• The facility is cashless (concessions, etc.)—credit cards, Apple Pay etc.

• Accessibility: The park is ADA compliant.
