Charlotte Sports Park The
Charlotte Sports Park has undergone an extensive renovation and is the spring
home of the Tampa Bay Rays. The site is located
approximately 75 miles south of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.
The state-of-the-art facility contains 5,000 fixed seats, and has additional berm seating and party areas. A new suite
level and group areas have been added and a unique 360-degree baseball
boardwalk rings the stadium. Follow the boardwalk to leftfield and
you'll find a Tiki Bar, where fans can sip a cold beverage, catch up
with friends and still keep the game in view. Charlotte Sports
Park is also a family-friendly ballpark, there is
a Kids Clubhouse zone that contains separate play areas for tots and
youth, and a concession stand just for kids. The facility is a
mode of sustainability, and features an educational green roof and
Florida-friendly landscaping.
In addition to spring training games, the facility houses the
state-of-the-art Rays
training complex, which includes a new clubhouse, five full fields and one-half
field. It is home to extended spring training for
the Rays, and the Rays new Florida State League Team owned in
partnership with Cal Ripken and Ripken Baseball on this unique venture.
"Ripken Baseball is an established and proven minor league operator
and the Ripken name is synonymous with success," said Matt Silverman,
President of the Rays. Visit

for more information on the Rays Florida State League team.
The renovations to the Charlotte Sports Park were financed by
contributions from Charlotte County, the State of Florida and the Rays.
While the Rays will have exclusive access during spring training, this
facility is truly a park within a park, and the County will use the venue throughout the year for concerts,
youth sports, recreation and community events.
