The team, which plays in the Eastern League, is the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers Major League Baseball club. The SeaWolves play in Jerry Uht Park, located in downtown Erie; opened in 1995, it seats 6,000 fans. The team began play at the AA level in 1999 as an affiliate of the Anaheim Angels before switching to the Tigers in 2001.
Prior to the establishment of the Eastern League franchise, an A-level affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the New York - Penn League used the Seawolves name from 1995 to 1998. To make room for the AA team, that franchise moved to Ohio and became the Mahoning Valley Scrappers. Previous minor league franchises in Erie with various affiliations played under the names Sailors, Orioles, and Cardinals.
