The home of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp is now called VyStar Ballpark, pending approval of the Jacksonville City Council.

The naming rights of what is now 121 Financial Ballpark are part of VyStar’s merger agreement with the credit union. The new name will run through 2040, combined with $31.8 million in ballpark enhancements due for completion in time for the 2025 season.

In addition to the naming rights of the ballpark, VyStar becomes the official credit union of the Jumbo Shrimp, along with additional sponsorship and marketing elements.

VyStar has been a marketing partner of the team for a number of years, hosting community giveaway nights, fireworks and other events.

The 2025 home opener for the Jumbo Shrimp is scheduled for April 1, when the Worcester Red Sox play at VyStar Ballpark.
