Another win for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. 

Coca-Cola Park has been voted as the Best Minor League Ball Park in USA Today‘s 10 Best competition in its Reader’ Choice Awards. 

 The 10 nominations were curated by a panel of subject matter experts and USA Today editors before being voted on by the public. 

 “This award is a testament to so many organizations and individuals who have proudly supported the IronPigs over the years,” said IronPigs President and General Manager Kurt Landes. “A very sincere thank you goes to our employees, partners and guests who voted for us and who continue to attend games at Coca-Cola Park in record numbers. To be America’s #1 Minor League Ballpark is something our entire community can and should be proud of. The IronPigs are delighted to receive this honor, and it speaks to our mission of providing a positive and memorable experience for every guest, every time.” 

 Built as the home of the IronPigs when they debuted in 2008, Coca-Cola Park has been recognized multiple times in the past. For example, it was the fastest Minor League team to surpass 10 million fans. 

 The IronPigs also led all of MiLB in total attendance in 2025, while also leading in average attendance at 8,242. It marked the 3rd straight season the IronPigs have led MiLB in total attendance.  

In a press release, Landes noted that other ballpark in MiLB averaged over 8,000 fans during the 2025 season.  

Nine times Coca-Cola Park has led MiLB in either overall or average attendance. Over its lifespan, Coca-Cola Park and the IronPigs have averaged over 8,500 fans per game – tops in the country since the team began playing.
