 Charlotte
Sports Park
Melbourne, FL
In 2009, an old
spring training home gets new life as the Tampa Bay Rays
move to Port Charlotte from Al Lang Field in Tampa. Built in
1988, the Charlotte Sports Park was the spring training home
of the Texas Rangers until 2001. The stadium sat empty after
the Rangers moved their spring training operations to
Arizona. A $27 million renovation was completed at the
stadium by 2009 that completely renovated the stadium.
Charlotte Sports Park features a wraparound berm in the
leftfield corner, open-air concourses, a children's play
area team officials hope will become "autograph alley" and
more than 1,500 on-site parking spots. With suites and group
party areas, the overall capacity is about 6,800. |
