Spring Training Baseball
Spring Training Baseball - watch your favorite teams play ball, one of the great things about being in Florida!
For baseball, Ft Myers has the Minnesota Twins playing at Hammond Stadium and the Boston Red Sox playing at JetBlue Park.
Hammond Stadium is out by the airport at 14100 Six Miles Cypress Pkwy, 2 miles west of I-75's exit 131, off of Daniel's Pkwy.
JetBlue Park is located off of Daniels Pkwy, which is also at exit 131 off of I-75.
The Red Sox used to play at City of Palms Park, but have just moved into their brand new facility for 2012.
We were fortunate to go to a Yankees/Twins game and it was pretty exciting.
Derek Jeter wasn't there that day, but we got to see A-Rod, who is up at bat in the video below.
Games sell out quickly but we were able to get spring training tickets online that were being sold by individuals through the teams' websites.
You have to pay more, but you don't have to pay as much as you would for a game up north.
There were also people selling tickets in the parking lot, so you can still get tickets at the last minute, but I have no idea how much they charge for them.
To get more information, go to the teams' websites:
We were very happy with our seats, we were behind and to the right of the batter, section 207, in row 15.
There are 16 rows in the second tier, and we had the best of all worlds: a great view of the game, breezes from behind since we were near the top, and we were in the shade.
I would suggest that you get tickets above row 9 or 10 in the second tier so you can sit in the shade ....... it can get very hot in the sun for a 1PM game!
Make sure you get to the game well in advance, 15 minutes is not enough, we missed the first pitch because we were still parking.
Why do hot dogs taste so good at a baseball game?!
Another reason to get there early so you can grab some ahead of the game.
You won't want to miss a single minute of a Ft Myers spring training baseball game!
I'm looking forward to watching a Red Sox game at the brand new JetBlue Park, Fenway South!
