The Robert C. Wynn Baseball Field is a collegiate and former minor league baseball stadium, located in Bradenton, Florida. The field is currently the home of the Manatees baseball team from the State College of Florida, Manatee–Sarasota, formerly Manatee Community College and Manatee Junior College. The stadium opened in 1959 as Manatee Junior College Field. In 1977 it was renamed after Robert C. Wynn, the State College of Florida coach who started the baseball program at the college in 1959. In 2012 the field received national recognition as the only college or university this year to be awarded the prestigious American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) TURFACE Field Maintenance Award.In 2007 the stadium was also briefly the home of the Bradenton Juice, of the South Coast League. However the field could not a provide the proper environment for minor league baseball. Two examples cited by league officials were the team's inability to sell beer and have post-game fireworks, due to the stadium being located on the college's campus. As a result, the attendance for the Juice games was dismal with only 148 fans attending a May 25, 2007 game at the stadium against the Macon Music. The Juice folded after the 2007 season and the league became dormant in 2008. The baseball facilities were renovated during the 2010–2011 school year. The improvements included a new entrance, parking lot, batter's eye, windscreens, palm trees and foliage, as well as a net backstop with a brick knee wall.

Sarasota Bay is a lagoon located off the central west coast of Florida in the United States. Though no significant single stream of freshwater enters the bay, with a drainage basin limited to 150 square miles in Manatee and Sarasota Counties, it is generally treated as an estuary, with three "passes" or inlets, giving access from the Gulf of Mexico. Its source of freshwater has been increased from natural historical levels by urban runoff. The bay and its surrounding area appeared on the earliest maps of the area, being named Zarazote on one dating from the early 18th century. Hunting in the area had supported native populations for more than ten thousand years as Florida attracted some of the earliest human settlements in the hemisphere. Following the retreat of the glaciers, ocean levels rose creating the current coastline and the natural bounty of Sarasota Bay provided food for inhabitants for over five thousand years before Europeans began exploration of the area in 1513 and later, establishing settlements along its shores. Sarasota Bay, the largest and deepest coastal bay between Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor, is one of twenty-eight estuaries in the country that have been named by the U.S. Congress as an estuary of national significance. The bay lies between barrier islands called keys, that separate the body of water from the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida mainland. Longboat Key, Lido Key, Siesta Key, and Casey Key are the major keys that delineate the main bay and its smaller portions.
