Boston Red Sox spring training home
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since 1993, the city of Fort Myers in Lee County, Florida, United States has been the spring-training home of the Boston Red Sox when the club moved from Winter Haven (now the spring-training home of the Cleveland Indians). Boston trains at the City of Palms Park since the ballpark opened, while the minor-league facility, featuring five full fields, is a short distance away. City of Palms Park is also used by the Gulf Coast Rookie League's Red Sox.
The park, built in a classic Florida style, with a main covered grandstand and palm trees past the outfield fence, was designed by HOK Sport + Venue + Event, the same architect responsible for Coors Field, Minute Maid Park, and Pro Player Stadium, amongst others.
