Florida is home to Spring Training for fifteen major league baseball teams and Fort Myers is the only city to host two. Every February the boys of summer descend on the city to hone their skills and rosters for the regular season. It's a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with the players who are more relaxed and accessible. The Boston Red Sox train at JetBlue Park, also known as Fenway South. It holds 11,000 fans, including seats in the replica, Green Monster. Hammond Stadium, at the recently remodeled CenturyLink Sports Complex, is where the Minnesota Twins play. One of the best features of this park is the bullpen picnic pavilion, where fans can get great photos and autographs of their favorite sluggers.
