ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Coca-Cola Park is no more. Triple-A Lehigh Valley’s home stadium will have a new name beginning in the 2027 Minor League Baseball season.
The Allentown ballpark, which has been the IronPigs’ stomping ground since their 2008 inaugural season, will be renamed “Jefferson Park.” The move was announced Thursday in a press conference held at the ballpark and is in conjunction with the team’s expanded partnership with Jefferson Health, the Philadelphia-based health care system that oversees team sponsor Lehigh Valley Health Network.
“This announcement will have a meaningful impact on the future of our ballpark and team,” IronPigs co-owner Joe Finley said in a news release written by Sam Jellinek, the team’s media relations manager. “It is an exciting moment for our organization and one that we believe will create tremendous opportunities and excitement for our fans, our community and our partners.”
IronPigs president and general manager Kurt Landes said the partnership with Jefferson will extend to educational and recreational fundraising efforts through the IronPigs Charities initiative. Jellinek wrote that additional details of the partnership will be “finalized and shared in the coming months.”
ABARTA Coca-Cola Beverages previously announced in a February joint press conference with the IronPigs that they would end their naming rights partnership in September 2027. The company will remain as one of the team’s partners, according to Landes.
The IronPigs were Minor League Baseball’s per-game attendance leader under the Coca-Cola Park name, drawing in an average of 8,500 fans per contest since 2008. The team led the minors in attendance in 2026, extending its current streak of doing so to four seasons.
IronPigs manager Chris Adamson said he was excited for the name change.
“At least we can get the diabetes from Coca-Cola, and then we can go to Jefferson Health to get treated for it,” he joked.
The IronPigs will take the field for the final time with the Coca-Cola Park name on Sunday against Worcester.
