When you think about beach vacation sports, baseball probably doesn’t come to mind. But with JetBlue Park set to open this spring, that mindset is about to change.
The new Complex will provide state-of-the-art training facilities positioned on a single site and is intended to be used year-round. It will include JetBlue Park, the main ballpark with a total capacity of approximately 11,000 fans (including standing room and berm), six practice fields, and other adjoining facilities that will house both the Major and Minor League operations and a rehabilitation center. A number of the characteristics of the new ballpark are taken from Fenway Park, including a “Green Monster” that will feature seating both on top of and behind the wall, as well as a manual scoreboard.
JetBlue Park and the surrounding Complex will capture elements that reflect its Southwest Florida location, and environmentally-sustainable features will be incorporated throughout the facility and Complex, and landscaping will feature vegetation indigenous to the area.
In addition to spring training, the surround area offers plenty of great opportunities to enjoy a more typical beach vacation.
