Named after one of the most iconic owners in sports history, George M. Steinbrenner Field is Tampa’s premier special events f ... acility and spring home to the New York Yankees and class A farm team, Tampa Tarpons. Built in 1996, George M. Steinbrenner Field is a 31-acre complex centrally located in Tampa, Florida. The complex, originally called Legends Field, was renamed for the Yankees' longtime Principal owner on March 27, 2008, following two unanimous resolutions supporting the change issued by the Hillsborough County Commission and the Tampa City Council. The resolutions cited Mr. Steinbrenner's many charitable donations to youth activities, hospitals and the arts, and recognized his numerous extraordinary contributions to the area. During the 2016 and 2017 off-season, Steinbrenner Field underwent a $40 million renovation adding brand new stadium seating, a convenient and accessible main entrance, and over 5,000 square feet of retail space.
