And that’s good. JetBlue Park Ticket Information Opened in 2012, the first-class JetBlue Park at Fenway South serves as the home site for the Boston Red Sox during spring training. Chase cardholders, we reserved mini lawns just for you! Tickets and concessions are expensive. It’s just like Fenway, but slightly wider. I Went to JetBlue Park And All I Got Was The Information For This Lousy Review (of JetBlue Park). But the point is that JetBlue Park is a great place to watch a game. We watched the game from that vantage for the first four innings before leaving to walk around the park. However, we did see a few things that needed a slight bit of the old improvement. “The Fenway of Florida.” That phrase might bring up thoughts of Tropicana Field, not for its historic significance but for the decade of Red Sox fans outnumbering Rays fans three-to-one in the latter’s home park in St. Petersburg; however, that would be wrong. Book online for as low as $5 to save time & money when you park. When I came to, it was to the shouts of my friends/chauffeurs who wanted me to catch a glimpse of the new JetBlue Park as it came into view. Besides the $9 to park, four of those seven sections I mentioned above are standing-room only, with only two having assigned seating: the Reserved Bleachers, above the lawn in right, and the Left Field Deck, a mainly standing-only section with some seats … Instead of trying to recoup the cost of the Fenway South complex in one felt-swoop, nothing on the menu is over $6, with the exceptions of cheesesteaks and alcohol. I mean exactly. While that makes it sound odd, the overall park really isn’t. Oh, sure, there are a few small differences (the Green Monster is 40 feet tall here, three feet taller than the Monster in Boston), but the overall look and feel of the place is uncanny. In any case it’s nice to get out of the sun for a few minutes, even if it is to browse crappy stadium food. It should have been allowed to happen naturally and not created as the singular goal of bringing Fenway to Florida. One feature that JetBlue Park didn't just copy but literally took from Fenway Park is the manual scoreboard at the base of its Green Monster. The first thing you notice about JetBlue Park is its roof. The end result of both attempts was falling asleep at inopportune times. However, if you wanted to see the game while walking, the walkway around the bowl provides an excellent view. After viewing the Rays and Orioles renew hostilities, we'd drive the Fort Myers for the Red Sox and Pirates game that evening and then return to our home base in Clearwater for the night. Yes, it’s spring training and the games don’t count, but don’t come down to Fort Myers thinking you’re going to find a huge discount. This is in addition to the numerous luxury suites that are becoming mandatory in any new parks, even the small ones.The things I love the most, though, are the replicas of the seats found in Fenway. Contact your GDS help desk if you need information on how to use this functionality. So, when I heard that the Red Sox were not only building a new park to make a move out of downtown Fort Myers’ City of Palms Park but making an almost-exact replica of Fenway, that both excited and worried me. Introducing The Greens, an outdoor dining destination on The Rooftop at Pier 17, custom designed for seamless social distancing.With careful health and safety measures in place, you and your friends can relax as you savor fresh summer fare and golden hour cocktails from the comfort of your own lawn—all set against views of the Brooklyn Bridge and iconic NYC skyline. A drain pipe in the upper deck was spilling water out over the stairs and onto people below could have easily been redirected, for instance. I had a great time and really enjoyed myself, but the connection to the original almost felt forced with me. Plus, as I said in the “Food” section, almost everything is $6 and under. Again, this is a high score, and I think a lot has to do with the fact that – this year anyway – checking out Florida’s newest “baby ballpark” in its first year is worth a premium. I was able to snap this picture. As you probably gathered from the pictures, it’s not the same as Boston’s. by Jim Dietrich | Dec 13, 2014 | Jim Dietrich, MLB, Spring Training, JetBlue Park – Boston Red Sox Spring Training, Photo by David Berger, Stadium Journey, JetBlue Park – View from Third, Photo by David Berger, Stadium Journey, Replica Green Monster at JetBlue Park, Photo by David Berger. Yes, the mere mention of them can conjure up images of loud-mouth, know-it-all, bandwagon fans that don’t even know who the starting third baseman is, but in reality, the majority of Red Sox Nation knows the game inside and out, and the people who go to spring training are no different. It’s time to make up for lost sunshine. It brings the whole project full-circle when something as seemingly-benign as a seat can evoke memories from the project it was intended to be an homage to. But the Red Sox didn’t fall victim to that. In my experience each of those is true. So I don’t seem like a complete downer, let me break down both the pros and cons in the return.The biggest pro you can get tickets for as low as $5 in the right-field berm, a place I prefer in any park as I can lay in the grass, kick off my shoes, and just enjoy everything around me. JetBlue Park is half Fenway, half Florida spring training park, half architectural show-piece, and half well, something else I’m sure. As I describe in the “Neighborhood” category, the complex is isolated to allow for the easiest ingress and egress possible. Surrounded by Boston accents in Fort Myers! T he 13.5 hectare linear Zhenghua Nature Park was completed in 2002 and stretches for about 2.5 km along the BKE, linking the Bukit Panjang Park Connector to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Red Sox have reportedly interviewed Will Venable for manager opening, Daily Red Sox Links: Mookie Betts, Marcell Ozuna, Brian Johnson, Daily Red Sox Links: Christian Vázquez, Alex Cora, Marcell Ozuna, MLB Roundup 10/22: Rays even up World Series. Skirting the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, the nature park serves as a green buffer for the reserve. It was so hyped, in fact, there was a Cubs fan willing to capitalize on it even before the name was official. The parking situation is a nightmare. 2018/07/04 - Loved lounging on the lawn and watching the Red Sox take on the Phillies at JetBlue Park the Red Sox spring training facility yesterday! This system must be improved. For the fifth game at the new facility, things went off pretty well. On the contrary, it took me over 30 minutes to travel the 1.6 miles from I-75 to the park, only to be greeted with a $9 parking bill when beyond-ample parking was available. There’s a statue of, arguably, the greatest Red Sox player, Ted Williams, outside the team store and near the home plate entrance. In all actuality, this is kind of generous. JetBlue Park is half Fenway, half Florida spring training park, half architectural show-piece, and half well, something else I’m sure. It shouldn’t work so well, but it works fantastically. After falling asleep in my seat in Port Charlotte, and having to get up and do laps around the park to stay awake, then falling asleep again when I tried to sit down for the eighth and ninth innings, passing out in the back seat of our rented Passat while my two friend chauffeured me down I-75 was predictable. When I heard the plans for the place I was disappointed. There is a seating section (officially called Sections M1-M6, the “Monster Seating,” whereas on top the Monster is “Monster Deck Seating”) that affords you not only table-top seats, but a vantage point even Boston isn’t privy to. One of the cool things, though, is the fact there’s a tented food area along the first-base concourse called the “Taste of Fenway South,” ,filled with local purveyors of seafood, beef, and a full-service bar to wash it all down. Sure, the park is immaculately-detailed, full of history, and a great facsimile of Fenway Park, but I think that’s the problem. Everything from the staples (hot dogs provided by Kayem…of course) to the “specialities” that seem to appear everywhere anymore. Now, for the Monster 2.0 and why I’m calling it as such. While the palm trees waiving in the breeze are a nice touch, the structure surrounding the park sings JetBlue Park and Florida to me. You know all those times you were thinking, “I wonder what it would be like to watch the game from INSIDE the Monster?” Well, now you can! That title belongs to McKechnie Field in Bradenton, a park almost as old as Fenway, and just as historic. What helps this category immensely is the massive concourse with plenty of space and ample bathrooms, all of which were clean and immaculate. Nothing more really needs to be said. Besides, Florida already has one Fenway and has for over 80 years – another one is not needed. Before visiting I had read a good number of things about JetBlue Park. Even the pizza is made on-premises and looks really good, and I’m a pizza snob; I went for the (Kayem) Kielbasa instead, so I can’t tell you if the pizza is as good as it looks, but I would definitely try it. To learn more or opt-out, read our Cookie Policy. It’s beautiful, but I won’t lie, it’s strange too. Yes, the Monster and dimensions would need to be there to allow it to happen organically, but the pricing is nearly-prohibitive, the traffic is a nightmare, and the neighborhood just isn’t there. And would it be enough to take the title of the “Fenway of Florida” from historical McKechnie?
