Red Sox Spring Training in Ft. Myers
One of the things that I have always wanted to do ever since we knew we were going to be living in Florida was to go to a Red Sox spring training game. Ironically, we got an invitation to go with Springfield College alumni and took them up on it.
On the weekend of the game we drove to Sarasota and spent Friday night at Dave and Joetta's house. Saturday morning we drove to Ft. Myers. There were 3 Dunkin Donuts right next to the stadium!!! Just like in Boston!! We stopped for some iced coffee.
I did not pay close attention to where the game was being held. I assumed it would be where the Red Sox usually play. OOPS. We showed up to the ball park and no one was there. Luckily the game was only 6 miles down the road at the Minnesota Twins stadium. The coolest part about showing up to the wrong stadium was that we got to get our pictures taken with the 2 World Series trohpies that the Red Sox in 2004 and 2007.
After a barbeque lunch with the Springfield College Alumni we watched the game. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and chill. The weather was perfect. They announced how cold it was in bost Boston and Minnesota and made a joke that it was only 80 degrees in at the partk.
