The Pawtucket Red Sox, frequently called the PawSox, are the top-level minor league affiliates for the Boston Red Sox. Located less than 50 miles away from Fenway Park, McCoy Stadium is where the next generation of Red Sox prospects hone their skills and fight for a spot on the Major League roster. Fans attending a Pawtucket Red Sox game can expect to see top-notch baseball and a Major League atmosphere. The local enthusiasm for the Red Sox is on full display here as Pawtucket regularly sees much larger crowds than the average minor league baseball games. Much to the dismay of some local fans, the 2020 season will be the final season that the PawSox call Pawtucket and McCoy Stadium their home, moving across the border to Worchester, Mass., after the season. You should not miss your chance to see a game at historic McCoy Stadium during the final season of PawSox baseball in Rhode Island. Save on your Pawtucket Red Sox tickets by buying them at StubHub.
