AN AMAZING NEW YORK BASEBALL EXPERIENCE—IN FLORIDA
Tampa was actually the very first spring training site in Florida, dating back to hosting a Chicago team in 1913. But after many years, the teams in Tampa had left. In 1996, the 31-acre Steinbrenner Field complex was built to serve as the New York team’s spring training site, as well as the home field for the minor-league team. If you plan on catching a game here, be sure to book a stay at one of the George M. Steinbrenner Field hotels.
George M. Steinbrenner Field itself has the same exact dimensions as the original Bronx stadium—with architectural details like a scalloped grandstand façade that pays tribute to the original. The stadium was the first among spring training facilities to offer luxury suites, also offering a unique five-tier party deck, a pavilion for entertaining and a large gift shop. Outside the stadium is the Monument Park display of plaques commemorating New York legends who have had their numbers retired.
The complex is located in northwest Tampa, across the highway from Raymond James Stadium—home to Tampa Bay’s pro football team. Close to Tampa International Airport and minutes from downtown Tampa, there are great shopping and dining options nearby at International Plaza and Bay Street, and attractions such as Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo and Adventure Island, a 30-acre outdoor water theme park.
