Spring Training in Fort Myers: Getting to JetBlue Park & Hammond Stadium
Spring Training in Fort Myers: How to Get to JetBlue Park & Hammond Stadium
Every February and March, Fort Myers becomes baseball country. Here is how to get to the Red Sox at JetBlue Park and the Twins at Hammond Stadium without spending the game stuck in traffic.
Spring training is one of the best traditions in Southwest Florida: warm afternoons, close-up seats, and big-league players in small ballparks. It is also one of the busiest traffic periods of the year in south Fort Myers. A little planning goes a long way.
The Two Ballparks
| JetBlue Park | Hammond Stadium | |
|---|---|---|
| Team | Boston Red Sox | Minnesota Twins |
| Location | Daniels Parkway, east of I-75 near RSW | Six Mile Cypress Parkway at the Lee County Sports Complex |
| Nearby communities | Gateway, Treeline, the airport hotels | South Fort Myers, San Carlos Park |
Traffic: What to Expect
- Before the game: Daniels Parkway and Treeline Avenue back up for JetBlue Park; Six Mile Cypress and Daniels for Hammond Stadium.
- After the game: the lots empty slowly, often 30 minutes or more.
- Season overlap: spring training coincides with peak tourist season and spring break, so roads are already busy.
Timing Tips
- Arrive 60–90 minutes before first pitch to beat the worst traffic.
- Weekend and Red Sox–Yankees games draw the biggest crowds.
- Night games mean driving home in the dark through unfamiliar roads.
- Bring sunscreen and a hat — day games are sunny.
Skip the Parking Lot
A chauffeured drop-off and pickup is the easiest way to do spring training, especially with a group. Your chauffeur drops you near the gate, you enjoy the game (and a cold beer) without worrying about driving, and you walk out to a waiting SUV while everyone else queues to leave the lot.
Sample game day
| Time | Plan |
|---|---|
| 11:00 a.m. | Pickup at your hotel or home |
| 11:30 a.m. | Drop-off at the ballpark gate |
| 1:05 p.m. | First pitch |
| 4:00 p.m. | Pickup right after the final out |
| 4:30 p.m. | Post-game dinner downtown or back home |
With hourly service at $160 per hour, a group of six splitting a five-hour game day pays about $133 each before gratuity. Our Lincoln Navigator seats six. See night out and event transportation and pricing.
