PNC Field, formerly Lackawanna County Stadium (1989–2006), is a 10,380-seat minor league baseball stadium located in Moosic, Pennsylvania. It is the home of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, the AAA affiliate of the New York Yankees. Lackawanna County sold the naming rights to PNC Bank on February 1, 2007, and the stadium became known as PNC Field.

They also have bleacher seats at the stadium. Many amateur sports competitions were held there, as well as regional band competitions, ice skating and car shows.
On July 12, 1995, Lackawanna County Stadium hosted the AAA All Star Game.
