St. Johns County baseball fans looking for affordable family entertainment can catch the St. Augustine Sardines in action this summer as the collegiate wood-bat team begins its season at St. Joseph Academy. The Sardines provide local residents and visitors an opportunity to watch talented college players from across the country compete during the offseason while developing their skills in a competitive summer league environment.
Unlike larger professional venues, Sardines games emphasize community engagement and family-friendly fun. Fans can expect a atmosphere where they can interact with players, enjoy affordable concessions, and experience the excitement of summer baseball without the crowds and high ticket prices often associated with professional sports.

The concession stand offers traditional ballpark favorites and refreshments throughout the season, and the venue features bleacher seating that provides excellent views of the field from both the 1st and 3rd base side. Tickets remain budget- friendly, with adult admission priced at approximately $11.63, including fees, and children’s tickets available for about $5.72 for ages 5 to 12.
