Jerry Uht Park

Jerry Uht Park is a baseball park located in Erie, Pennsylvania. It is the home of the Erie SeaWolves, the city's Minor League Baseball (MiLB) franchise. The ballpark opened on June 20, 1995 with a SeaWolves win over the Jamestown Jammers, a game in which José Guillén hit the decisive home-run for Erie. Jerry Uht Park features a natural grass playing surface and seats 6,000 people for baseball. In addition to professional baseball, it also hosts numerous local high school and collegiate baseball games throughout the spring. The stadium is part of Erie's Louis J. Tullio Plaza along with Erie Insurance Arena and the Warner Theatre, all of which are administered by the Erie County Convention Center Authority.

Jerry Uht Park replaced Ainsworth Field, which was built in 1947 and renovated in 1980. Located on 24th Street at Washington Place (behind the Roosevelt School), Ainsworth Field was the home of the Erie Sailors for much of the time between 1948 and 1963, and from 1990 to 1994.
