Ballpark of the Palm Beaches Facts & Figures


  • Construction cost: $148,577,137
  • Financing: Palm Beach County issued $130 million in construction bonds, agreeing to do so on October 20, 2015. Prior to that, the county had already paid $5 million for preliminary design work, thus bringing the approved budget total to $135 million. The Astros and Nationals were responsible for the cost overruns that were incurred. County and state funding plus lease payments from the teams will be used to pay off the bonds over a 30-year period, over which time the total cost of the principal and interest will be $232.9 million. Palm Beach County is paying the largest share of the debt service, with $116 million projected to be raised from a county tax on hotel bookings and short-term rentals (the so-called "bed tax"). Additionally, the ballpark's co-tenants are expected to make about $67 million in combined rent payments while the state of Florida's contribution is pegged at $50 million and comes via a grant program that was created to support spring training in the state.
  • Architect: HKS
  • Construction manager: Hunt Construction Group
  • Owned by Palm Beach County.
  • Leased to the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals for 30 years.
  • Operated by HW Spring Training Complex, an LLC partnership by the Astros and Nationals (hence the HW for Houston and Washington).
  • The entire spring training complex occupies 161.09 acres and was built on the site of a former landfill, the Haverhill Yard Trash Site, which closed in 1991. The property was acquired by the county in a land swap deal with the City of West Palm Beach in February 2015.
  • Groundbreaking date: November 9, 2015
  • Naming rights can be sold by the Astros and Nationals, but "of the Palm Beaches" or "at the Palm Beaches" must be a part of any new name.
  • Has 6,400 fixed seats, lawn seating for 1,250, and an upper level with six suites and two party decks.
  • Replaced Osceola County Stadium and Space Coast Stadium as the spring training home for the Astros and Nationals. The teams' previous Grapefruit League ballparks were 117 miles (Nationals in Viera) and 143 miles (Astros in Kissimmee) away.
