Why Spring Training at Steinbrenner Field Is One of Tampa Bay’s Best Experiences
One of the Best Ways to Enjoy Spring in Tampa Bay: Yankees Spring Training
THE PERFECT VENUE AND TIME OF YEAR
If you’ve never been to a spring training Yankees game at Steinbrenner Field, this month may be the perfect time to go.
This year marks the 31st season the New York Yankees have called Steinbrenner Field home for spring training, a tradition that has been going strong since the stadium opened in 1996. What makes it special is not just the schedule. It is the experience.
Perfect Florida weather makes afternoon and evening games especially enjoyable. The smaller, more intimate venue allows you to feel truly close to the action, something big league ballparks rarely offer. Add in easy access from all around the Tampa Bay area, and it becomes a simple, stress free outing.
Whether you are catching a matchup against Tampa’s own Rays or watching future stars take the field, spring training at Steinbrenner Field is a seasonal staple for both locals and visitors. It’s a perfect family-friendly outing, a great spot for playing hooky from work with friends, a perfect spot hosting clients for an exciting and entertaining sports outing, or a fun way to enjoy the Florida sunshine in a new setting.
