Hey...heading to Florida in March. I know I have seen a list online somewhere but can't seem to find it, but I want to find a list of the best Grapefruit experiences. Best ballparks. Can't miss experiences.

I think we are looking at hitting up a Yankees game in Tampa, but doesn anyone have a list of ranking the best ballparks?

I heard that the comflex where the expos were with the cardinal was nice. I think that it is the marlins that are there now. Jupiter if I recall.

Florida is so 1970. Arizona rocks.

Unfortunately the Blue Jays don't play in Arizona!

Go Jays!

I beleive all Yankee games in Tampa are sold out. You may have to scalp a ticket or see them somewhere else.

I liked both ballparks in Fort Myers (Red Sox and Twins), with City of Palms Park (Red Sox) being preferred. Lakeland (Tigers) is a cool old park that I enjoyed.

Been to Lakeland the last two visits to Florida, only because of its close proximity to Orlando. Was a pretty fun park.

I thought all spring training tickets go on sale on Monday? Are the Yankees tickets all pre-sold?

Alright, just bought some sweet tickets for the Jays and Yankees in Tampa.

Monday morning will buy tickets for the Jays in Dunedin!
