Had my first spring training experience here earlier this month. As a resident of southeast…read moreMichigan I'd rather have gone to a Tigers "home" game in Lakeland but our itinerary didn't allow that. Home games seem to be a flexible concept down here in the Sunshine State anyway, with teams playing many hundreds of miles - or kilometers if you're the Blue Jays - away from their home stadiums. Besides the inevitable Blue Jays Crew we saw plenty of other Tigers fans, a good number of people wearing Phillies gear (Philadelphia's spring training home is very close to Dunedin), Tampa Bay Rays fans and just quite a few people wearing random sports clothes from various teams and even sports. A Jacksonville Jaguars fan was in the house. It's a cute little stadium. I like the blue and white motif. Kind of reminds me of old Tiger Stadium though they use a darker, richer shade of blue here. The concourses got a bit packed at times. It seems people get up and walk around more at spring training. There was even a concourse lounge area with cornhole games and people chilling in chairs. We had seats in the outfield along the left field foul line. Seating seemed to be like the Wild West. When we first walked up there were people in our seats. They moved and had to shoo people who were in their seats. Later after we went to get concessions and came back there were people in our SEATS again who claimed people were in their seats. It seemed to be this chain reaction of everyone just sitting wherever. It seemed like too big a pain to try to get our proper seats back so we just moved to the closest row to the field in that section which had empty seats the whole time. So we got an upgrade from the tomfoolery and didn't have to snitch to an usher. Concessions were decent. Nothing to write home about but I was very pleased that as the southern home of Toronto Blue Jays TD Ballpark had Clearly Canadian flavored fizzy water. I love that stuff. I enjoyed a couple bottles. The Tigers were easily beat by the Jays and much of the play on the field was shambolic and/or halfhearted. I get the guys who are already Major Leaguers treating this games as more just shaking the rust of and getting into shape but some of the prospects who should be trying to make a splash and get moved up seemed to be on easy mode, too. One guy was keeping score which was just so hardcore and hilarious to me. So many substitutions. So many little known guys destined for the minors. There were a few players on the field only rocking numbers, no names. Not worth all that stitching when someone else might be 58 tomorrow. Mad respect to the monomaniac keeping score. There were some "Let's go Blue Jays!" and "Let's go Tigers!" chants that went back and forth, sometimes involving only one or two people on each side which were still easily heard in those less than massive, lowkey stands. Fortunately the prices were less than big league but I think it's probably worth it to pay more to see MLB regular season play. Spring training seems to be more about hanging out and vibing. I heard so much small talk in the stands about all kinds of subjects. I wonder what minor league games here are like. I'll probably never make it back but I do wanna see the Mud Hens in Toledo.

The atmosphere at the Joker Marchant Stadium when it's game day is so much fun, really good vibes…read more I had been here previously for a holiday party up in the conference rooms and it was night and day different. People get there EARLY. I'm talking, I was there 2+ hours before 1st pitch and there were at least a couple rows of cars and more coming already. It gets packed fast so just be aware of that if you're driving. Workers do a good job directing people on the way in, but on the way out it's pretty much a mess. This field and facility are very well maintained. Everything seemed fairly clean, considering how big of a space it is. There is a big lawn behind center field where a lot of young kids run around trying to catch home run balls from the team warmups. It's very family-oriented, just a great and enjoyable atmosphere. The worst part are certainly the prices. If you're not willing to pay minimum $50 at the gift shop don't even walk in there, that was obscene. The food prices are definitely up there as well, but it is still a professional sporting event and that's just how food prices are for that so you have to keep that in mind and be prepared. Also, security can get a little weird if you're not in the main seating area. They make you scan your ticket multiple times to where it gets a little ridiculous. Not a fan of that or the Tigers, to be honest, but I'd come back again because there's few things better than being out at the ball game!

A very average ballpark. Basic and not much going on to look at…read more Came here for a Low A game. Smaller crowd of a few hundred. It's not much but definitely not the worst in the Florida League. Free parking when I went. Construction going on so you'll get rerouted to get to the front of the stadium. Can only make a right turn into the entrance.

***Bolt Run Venue Review Only…read more I have done this race a few times. Seeing this space is made for throwing together large gatherings, it is no surprise how efficient it all is. Morning packet pick up is painless, they have a great hype team to keep you pumped for the race, and Thunderbug running around is a lot of fun. My only qualm in the bathroom situation. As I am one that needs to get there early for packet pick up, I am there a while. That usually involves at least one bathroom trip. As there is only one bathroom open for each the women and men, the women's bathroom line is long. Maybe, if this is a possibility, could both the men and women's bathrooms be open for women to keep the lines short. Then a few (5-10) portable bathrooms be set up for the men. Or anyone else that would rather use them than wait in the women's line. 03.05.2025

I've…read moreattended multiple different types of events from Lightning games to Sabrina Carpenter in concert, and I've never been disappointed with the ease of entry! The queue is always fast moving while still maintaining proper security measures. My only complaint is the ease of access for parking, which is generally expensive and more limited than other nearby venues. However this is not a complete surprise for a downtown, waterfront venue and typically solved with planning ahead. Traffic leaving downtown after events can be a nightmare, there are times I've been stranded up to an hour despite living 2 miles from city center

BLUF: Character, cleanliness, happy people and good concessions makes this stadium a great place…read morefor Grapefruit League spring training baseball. To date I have been to five of the Grapefruit League stadiums and Ed Smith is absolutely my favorite. Sure, I am an O's fan and biased but even so, it's a great stadium. I love the character of the Spanish-Colonial architecture, the breezy concourse, abundant trees, big bathrooms, overall cleanliness and throw backs to Camden Yards. Camden green is abound and I like that this feels like the Orioles spring training home and not just some generic stadium. Also, people here are just happy and friendly. Both the concessions and team store are great. The team store is large and has lots of O's gear. I wish that they had more Spring Training-specific stuff. Back in the day I got some nice gear that was thoughtfully designed to incorporate elements of Florida, the Grapefruit League and the Orioles. On my most recent visit most of the gear I found was classic Orioles gear with the words "Spring Training" added to it. Snooze. There are various concession lines throughout the stadium so lines are never too long. On my recent visit I stuck to classic baseball game fare like hot dogs, soft pretzels and beer. Most concessions have the same stuff but there is one that offers healthy options and one place that is dedicated to craft beer. Also, if you're into chicken, there is a Chick-fil-A onsite. There are a few official lots for the stadium that offer parking around $20 although we paid a local business to pay in their lot for $20 which was equally as convenient. The surrounding streets close before the game and the area can get a little trafficky so if you want to be there for first pitch be sure to give yourself to find parking and your seat.

Everyone always says this is one of the worst-rated ballparks, so I had to come see for myself--and…read moreWOW, was my mind changed! As soon as you walk in, there are so many hands-on experiences happening. From balloon animal making to staff walking around on stilts, there was something to see everywhere. There was even a live DJ playing as you walked around, and the smell of all the amazing food made the whole place feel so lively and fun. One of my favorite parts was discovering the stingray tank! You can actually touch the stingrays! The views were incredible, especially seeing the ballpark in the background while walking around the tank. It was such a cool experience that I honestly wasn't expecting at a baseball game. The staff was incredibly nice and welcoming. They even took a picture of us with the gates open, giving us an entire view of the field. Those little moments really made the experience even better. We also tried the drink of the day, which was piña colada-inspired. It wasn't too spirit-forward, but it also wasn't overly sweet--it was a really nice blend and definitely something I'd get again. And the food! We had a short rib grilled cheese that was SO flavorful. Even with all that cheese, it wasn't greasy at all. The combination of the short rib, cheese, and grilled bread was honestly perfect. Our seats were awesome, and we even managed to catch a ball during the game, which made the experience even more memorable! Overall, I genuinely don't understand all the bad reviews for this ballpark. I had an absolutely amazing time, and it's such a great place to bring the family. This was only my third ballpark, but I can already say it's one of my favorites. I would absolutely come back!

There's no denying this stadium has one of the most negative reputations in all of Major League…read moreBaseball. And from the outside, it is apparent why. Plenty of beige concrete and the white ceiling. A little light blue paint here and there on the bottom. It's not going to bring out artists to take renderings of it. The oversized fake baseballs on the outside don't exactly help. Near the home plate entrance, they have two statues. One of which is for winning a pennant. I mean, really? And remember, it's clear bags only, as if it were an NFL stadium. And then inside, I would describe the field area as tacky and sterile. The catwalks are so prevalent they should charge people extra admission to walk them. And bless them, I know the hurricane from a few years ago caused massive problems. But looking at the white roof form the inside, it looks just like a canopy covering you'd see at a circus. The tank in center field with live stingrays is cool to look at for about a minute or two. For food, I started with the Chicken Parm sandwich. I was incredibly impressed by the bread, it was a toasted semolina loaf. Could not have been much better. The chicken was pretty crispy, that was actually better than what I had at New York the prior day. Didn't love the marinara, it needed more seasoning. About an hour later, I tried a Cubano sandwich. And it was served Tampa style with Genoa salami added to the usual roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickle slices, and mustard. It was very good, though I'm not sure if I prefer that one or the Miami style more. I would say the Tampa sandwich is a little bit saltier with the addition of the salami, but at least there's more meat. Maybe the weird part is I drank a bottled protein milkshake with it. I mean it was the same price as a soda or a water, so why not? Alcohol was a joke. The cheapest option was around $18. For this stadium, with so few fans, there should be some decent deals. Maybe a Budweiser for $5 at one specific stand? Just an idea?! At the game, there were maybe 13,000 fans, at least a third of them were rooting for Toronto. And my goodness, you talk about advertisement overload! And yet, there is just one scoreboard, it's in right field. So they compress a lot of information onto that one board. As a result, it can be hard to find the info you're looking for. I'm looking for a radar gum for the mph of the pitch and I'm finding vertical break and all this other stuff. Probably took about five or six pitches. One other knock, this place gets too focused on politics and sexuality with certain signs and advertisements. Not cool. I'm coming to a bseball game to have fun. Not to think about the problems of the world.
