I am a big spring training fan and over the years have seen many a Twins game and several Miracle games here and have never been disappointed. Extremely friendly staff and very good ballpark food options. I have attended other events here like a cornhole tournament and had a great time for that too.

Although Red Sox fans, catching an Oriole's home game at less than $25,00 for excellent seats on the 1st base line in their nicely renovated stadium was a real treat. The game we saw was baseball at its purest, lots of base running, a few stolen bases and a few home runs. Be sure to sit on the Orioles side to avoid having to watch the game with the sun in your face. We found all the staff friendly and helpful.

Went to FGCU basketball game. The arena is clean and provides great environment. Sound system is poor. Needs upgrade. Concessions could be upgraded as well.

The BEST Spring Training facility in Florida by a mile. It runs like clockwork and why is this? It’s because the staff are AMAZING! From the car parking attendants, to the guys who greet you, the stewards and the concession stand and shop staff, not forgetting the cleaning staff who keep the place spotless, they all do an amazing job! My husband and I have been coming to Spring Training now for eight years on the run and have visited every facility, including Arizona facilities, and Jet Blue Park is the best! Big thanks to the Sheriff’s Dept too for making access and egress to and from the park so efficient. Major shout out to our two fave beer selling ladies PAT and JOY in the Green Monster. We have such a laugh with them every year. This Stadium would not be the same without these two fabulous ladies, thank you for looking after us!

My husband, I, and a friend went to an Everblades game here. They played the Jacksonville Icemen and won in a fast-paced game. We had excellent seats near the glass and right next to the VIP section. We were across from the team benches. We had a great vantage point to see everything, including a lot of checking that went unpenalized. On Wednesday nights they have $2 night: $2 beers, $2 hot dogs, etc. We each got a Budweiser and 2 hot dogs. That made a tasty and cheap dinner for $6 each while watching the beginning of the game. This is a good hockey arena and both teams really played their hearts out. I think most of them were hoping to catch the eye of a major-league recruiter. So the game was very entertaining with a lot of pucks to the glass in our section as well as lot of players slamming into the glass, and one puck up and over the glass and into the VIP section. Also entertaining was the gator mascot "Swampee," and the cheerleaders "The Everbabes." It was seriously cheesecake but we had to smile; they were really pretty good. Fun. The bathrooms were neat and clean until after the game ended. Then the women's bathroom was a tragedy. Parking was plentiful and controlled; exiting was fairly fast as the drivers were polite. We will definitely go to games next season!
