Boston Red Sox spring training home

Boston Red Sox spring training home

Since 1993, the city of Fort Myers in Lee County, Florida, United States has been the spring-training home of the Boston Red Sox when the club moved from Winter Haven (now the spring-training home of the Cleveland Indians). Boston trains at the City of Palms Park since the ballpark opened, while the minor-league facility, featuring five full fields, is a short distance away. City of Palms Park is also used by the Gulf Coast Rookie League's Red Sox.

The park, built in a classic Florida style, with a main covered grandstand and palm trees past the outfield fence, was designed by HOK Sport + Venue + Event, the same architect responsible for Coors Field, Minute Maid Park, and Dolphin Stadium, amongst others.

The Minnesota Twins play their spring training at Hammond Field which is also located in Fort Myers. Each spring the two teams will play five of their preseason games against each other in a series known as the Mayors Cup
