For the Brewers spring training home to be a true replica of Miller Park it would need to be filled with a majority of Cubs fans when they play them in ST

[@paladin677]

Every ST stadium in Arizona is filled with Cubs fans when they play.

[@itsjakesports]

I’ve been to nearly every spring training stadiums in Arizona, except Goodyear, Surprise, Scottsdale, and the Brewers Park. Camelback Ranch and Talking Stick arena are a good 1-2 for Arizona stadiums. They’re in great areas of the valley and cater well to their fans. I honestly think Tempe Diablo is way to high, it’s a small park and not very many food options. Lastly, the Brewers Park is in the ghetto part of “Phoenix” and I’d never go their unless you paid me

I actually live in goodyear, 15 minutes away from Goodyear Ball Park. It's an absolute beauty of a stadium. I've also been to Peoria Ballpark for a couple Padres games, it's a little less of a beauty lol

[@notsosilentmajority1]

Being near several of theses stadiums during spring training is making this "social distancing" so much worse. Many great retired players show up at these facilities and take pictures with families and sign autographs, etc.. It's so much more of an enjoyable atmosphere compared to the regular ballparks.

[@josephippolito3788]

I have one fond memory of the Tigers spring training facility, as my grandparents both used to live in Lakeland before they both passed (right behind a Publix actually). My dad and grandfather took me to watch the Tigers practice at the stadium for about 30 minutes one day when I was about 7 years old. It wasn't much, and I didn't get anything from any players or coaches, but it is the only time I've ever been to a spring training facility, and it's one I'll cherish forever.

[@blobetime]

I knew Sargent Mike Wilson personally. Grew up with his sons and told him I wanted to be a cop when I grew up, so he used to take me out for “ride alongs” which were really just little trips in a golf cart. He passed on my first day of high school, in 2013. Pretty cool to hear one of my favorite KZbinrs pay respect to him. Thanks, man.

[@Brandon-qd2lb]

Lmao say Dunedin right dude!! Yes that stadium is in a nasty area and pretty cramped. They’re practice fields are down the street lol. Really like that Mets ballpark.

[@BoostMobile29]

I played for the Rockies a few years ago and can say our facility was the best in baseball. The whole place was insane.

NOOOO. Tucson will get bottom of that list =( haha

Yes please. Even though Mechanics Bank Arena (home of my Condors) will probably be middle of the pack.

[@illiniguy34]

I remember back in 2008 going to various Spring Training stadiums across Florida: Twins, Pirates, and Indians (before they moved to Arizona). We tried to go to Dodger Town in its last year, but were unsuccessful and were originally going to see the Red Sox until we found out they were playing in Japan during our visit. Still fun all around, and hey it made for a good first trip on an airplane for me.

I love you five, but from expierence LECOM Park is a fun place to see a game and has a very old school baseball vibe and also has a really cool boardwalk. Also the Dunedin Park is amazing since they renovated the stadium and adding a boardwalk to catch homerun balls.

[@cooperdavis4212]

I've been to some of the parks in the Grapefruit League, went to two new ones this year. Lecom Field is ranked 23 here but I had an awesome experience, very personal and able to connect with the players is second to none I've been to. Also went to the new Braves stadium and it was just too much. It's not what spring training is about. And I am always amazed how the Braves manage to screw up parking in every stadium they run!

[@stacybearss2606]

Publix field at joker Marchant stadium was named the best spring training stadium 2020 it go a new upgrade and doesn't look like that. This stadium is one of the best in the grapefruit league

FL native here: Spectrum Field isn't named after The Spectrum, it's named after the broadcasting company Spectrum.

[@LaMarioC]

Crazy how the city of Mesa catered their fields to the cubs and did a lot to keep them there with their new stadium over their fairly new stadium that was ranked at the bottom of the list for the reason of the field being a replica of Wrigley. Hohokam is actually a nice stadium. My favorite is Camelback Ranch that's actually within the Phoenix city limits but owned by Glendale.

[@natereg9747]

Well, as someone from a city at the top of the craphole list(North Las Vegas, NV), I work often in Mesa and Chandler, AZ. Been to the Chicago metro area many times even. Mesa, AZ has to be the worst city I’ve ever been in. Two words, Heroin and Meth. Mesa holds any park they have back. It’s like going to Cashman field everywhere you go.

[@pachidermo]

I've gone to see quite a few games in Ft. Myers, my grandparents used to live there and I'd fly down to see them during spring break. Loved catching a Twins game or two with my grandpa. It's a nice park, really.

[@brettludwig7701]

4:22 This Park is the exact same park as the Phillies AAA Park “Coca-Cola Park” in Lehigh Valley PA. Almost the same dimensions and both parks have the same size “tiki terrace” in left field

[@atribecalledjudah5436]

Tucson Electric Park was a park that the Diamond Backs left too soon.

[@jordan_beard]

Your lowest and highest ranked stadiums are the only two Spring league stadiums I have been to. I find that funny. Honestly, Talking Stick is quite nice, but I didn't think Hohokam was that bad

[@MSU-DetroitFan]

Single A MiLB Stadiums

[@davezanko9051]

That's what these are. No, really. At least most of the ones in Florida host teams in the Florida State League (Single A Advanced) during the regular season. And all of them host Rookie teams in the Gulf Coast and Arizona leagues (which are called the "complex" leagues because they play at the parent club's spring training complexes)

[@MSU-DetroitFan]

Just Single A Parks (Midwest League and South Atlantic League) not the Advance Single A or Short Season Single A

I’ve been to BrightHouse (Spectrum) for the Phillies in Clearwater and thought it was really nice! They just had a renovation when I went there about 10 years ago. I also went to the Yankees in Tampa and it looked like a mini version of the old Yankees stadium.

[@murph659]

I did an internship for the twins one spring training at Hammond Stadium! I've also been to a sorority social at JetBlue park. The DJ was set up in the green monster!! I'm a yankee fan but I have to admit it's a beautiful stadium.

Spectrum Field is named after a Cable Company. At first, it was the local Bright House, but then Spectrum bought it out.

Fun fact: TD Ballpark (Jay's spring training) is right next to the elementary school. The Jay's can't retrieve any of the balls hit into the yard and sometimes kids will stand there waiting for one to go over. They also will sing along while at recess.

6:05 Where is this video?

[@j.mieses8139]

I lived in Lakeland for 7 years. I say that Joker Marchant Stadium is a beautiful facility (should be higher). The 2017 renovations made it even better (the Google 3D view in the video was before the renovations). Quick Fact #1: The Tigers have been coming to Lakeland since 1945. That is the longest relationship between a city and an MLB team (these teams switch cities often). Thus that is why the city and state had to fork 47 million for the 2017 renovations in order to keep the Tigers coming. Quick Fact #2: Living in Lakeland I could actually visit many of these spring training facilities shown in this video (within an 1-hour drive) as many are in Tampa Bay Area.

[@finshot1532]

Ive lived in goodyear my whole life, i live like 5 minutes away from the reds and indians facility. I played little league in the city of goodyear and once a year we would play on the spring training field and the portable fences were basically in the infield

The Peoria Sports Complex stadium ain't a looker, but the location is GREAT. Pretty bad traffic because of it though. As someone who grew up in Ohio and now lives in Phoenix AZ, there's an advertising war in my head over tires. Because while Goodyear is the superior brand, Firestone is from my hometown.

[@marioadkins430]

Better reviews would include concessions (gotta eat), views (mountains, etc.), sight lines, historical value, ticket price / value, parking, traffic flow, etc. Unfortunately, the two best stadiums are no longer around- Al Lang and Tucson Electric. Al Lang was not a beauty, but it overlooked the Tampa Bay, had lots of seating and you could get a dog / brat cooked over an open flame. Tucson Electric had a stunning mountain view along w/ good grub (grilled brat). My favorite of the ones in operation would have to be Talking Stick. Lots of grub, all kinds of drinks, mountain view and tickets are not too difficult to find if it is a Rockies game.
