Who Are the State College Spikes? What League Do They Play in?

With the Minor League Baseball Season (MiLB) underway, the State College Spikes (based in University Park, Pennsylvania) are ready to play ball! The Spikes are an Independent Baseball Team for College Baseball’s Top Prospects. In addition, they play in the MLB Draft League (no divisions). The Spikes were a Class-A farm club for the St. Louis Cardinals from 2013 until 2020. The Minor League Team was formerly known as the New Jersey Cardinals from 1994 until 2005.

Where do the State College Spikes Play their Home Games? Who is the Official Mascot?

The Spikes have been playing their home games at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park since 2005. Speaking of Medlar Field, the 5,500-capacity ballpark is located across the street from Beaver Stadium (home of the Penn State Nittany Lions Football). In fact, the stadium serves as the home of the Nittany Lions Baseball Program. Medlar Field is about a 2.5-hour drive from Pittsburgh (home of the MLB’s Pirates, NHL’s Penguins, and NFL’s Steelers). The Spikes’ venue was named after Charles Medlar (Penn State’s Baseball Manager: 1963-1981) and Anthony Lubrano (Penn State’s Board of Directors Member). The team’s official mascots are Nook the Blue Monster and Ike the Spike (Deer).

Now that you got to know the team as well as the home ballpark, you might be thinking “What kind of concessions do they have at Medlar Field?” Pretty much like any other ballparks across the country, the stadium serves traditional food fare like hot dogs and sodas. However, especially in Pennsylvania, the stadium serves up some other unique food offerings for all fans to enjoy.
