Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp – Triple-A
The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp are a Florida-based Triple-A (AAA) affiliate of the Miami Marlins. They compete in the International League East Division as part of Minor League Baseball (MiLB). The Jumbo Shrimp play home games at VyStar Ballpark in Jacksonville, Florida. Along with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, they provide a longer-season MiLB presence across the state. Explore the ballpark map, access official team links, and check Jacksonville weather.
VyStar Ballpark ranks among the larger minor league venues in the Southeast, with a capacity of about 11,000 seats. The ballpark sits near downtown Jacksonville in a district shared with several sports and entertainment venues. Located less than a mile from the St. Johns River, the stadium sits in a dense urban setting. The river’s proximity adds to the atmosphere, though the overall character of the area is more city-oriented than scenic.
Creative promotions and shrimp-themed concessions give the club a distinctive identity. A tiki bar features a countertop embedded with vintage baseball cards highlighting Jacksonville’s baseball history. The downtown location puts fans within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and the St. Johns River waterfront. Ticket prices are generally lower than MLB games, with Triple-A admission typically higher than Double-A.
