The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, playing 75 home games a season at PNC Field in Moosic, PA.

PNC Field is the last stop before the Bronx, so the lineup carries Yankees prospects and big leaguers on rehab assignments; Aaron Judge signed autographs here in 2016. The 2027 schedule brings the top farm clubs of the Red Sox, Phillies, Mets, Blue Jays, Tigers, White Sox and Marlins to town, with 75 home dates from the April 6 opener. Parking is $5, kids two and under get in free, and re-entry is allowed.

Before you go

PNC Field is cashless except parking, which takes cash or cards. Clear bags move through the gates fastest; other bags are inspected. One unopened 20-ounce water bottle is allowed, no outside food. Strollers are fine, wagons on the lawn only. No pets except on designated nights.

Coming up

The Adventure Begins Fall Festival and reveal party is Saturday, November 7 at PNC Field: free admission from 1 PM with food trucks, live music, a petting zoo and kids' activities, the new team name and uniforms unveiled at about 5 PM, then a drone show.
