I’m sure the new stadium isn’t going to be the big draw if you’re thinking about heading down to spring training this year, but if you’re curious about how the new stadium looks and feels you should check out this review from StadiumJourney.com. They also have plenty of good reviews, but looking at JetBlue Park they found the biggest down side was the lack of other things in the area. here is their review of the “Neighborhood”
In a word: non-existent.
At least not yet. In the interest of continuing the purpose-built, easily accessible, far from neighborhoods park that has obsessed Florida since Steinbrenner Field in Tampa was built in 1996, JetBlue Park was built two miles east of Interstate 75 and north of Southwest Florida International Airport in a former swamp. Development is just starting to appear around the Fenway South complex, but right now, if you want anything resembling something to do, it’s back to the west, and unless you like chains, you’re better off going way west to U.S. Route 41 (Tamiami Trail) and going north into downtown Fort Myers.
The new park looks like a good place to catch a spring game although parking for $9 and ticket prices for actual seats costing $25 to $46 for spring games seams a bit over priced for spring training games.
