About the Venue

Located on the scenic Mississippi Coast, Keesler Federal Park is the crown jewel of Biloxi baseball. Opened on June 6, 2015, as MGM Park, the stadium is home to the Double-A Biloxi Shuckers of the Southern League. With a seating capacity of up to 6,067, the park offers fans an exceptional game-day experience with 4,500 reserved seats in the seating bowl, a grass berm, two open-air party decks, a terrace, 12 luxury suites, and a spacious luxury club. It also features a state-of-the-art 1,472-square-foot scoreboard, making it one of the premier destinations for baseball on the Gulf Coast.

Beyond its modern amenities, Keesler Federal Park is steeped in local culture. The Shuckers, the Milwaukee Brewers' Double-A affiliate since 2015, reflect the coastal city's rich seafood heritage. The team name, chosen by fans, celebrates Biloxi's vibrant ties to the seafood industry.

Since their debut season in 2015, the Shuckers have produced numerous Major League Baseball stars, including Corbin Burnes, Josh Hader, Brandon Woodruff, and Devin Williams. The ballpark also hosted the 2019 Southern League All-Star Game, further solidifying its place in Southern League history.

Whether it's the unbeatable Gulf Coast views, the electric atmosphere, or the chance to see future MLB stars, Keesler Federal Park is where baseball and Biloxi come alive.
