The Double-A Biloxi Shuckers play at a 6,067-seat ballpark built on the site of the Buena Vista Hotel. The Buena Vista was damaged by Hurricane Camille, burned in 1991, and sat vacant for two decades before the stadium went up in 2015. The franchise is the Milwaukee Brewers' Double-A affiliate. The name is perfect: Biloxi shucks oysters. The Shuckers relocated from Huntsville, Alabama, where the franchise had played since 1985. Construction delays at the new park meant the team opened the 2015 season on the road — 54 games before they played in front of a home crowd. The home opener came on June 6, 2015, against the Mobile BayBears. Biloxi won 4–3 in fourteen innings. The attendance was 5,065. The park was called MGM Park until 2024, when Keesler Federal Credit Union bought the naming rights. The season runs April through September. Since 2025, the Shuckers have been Mississippi's only affiliated professional baseball club. They have reached the Southern League championship finals three times and haven't won yet. On summer evenings, the gulf breeze comes through the open outfield. The schedule is at milb.com/biloxi.
