Detroit Tigers' Spring Training Begins
Lakeland has the longest-running Spring Training relationship in Major League Baseball and many people don’t realize but baseball here at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium is a year-round operation. The 2020 spring season will be the club’s 55th consecutive season of playing at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium.
Lakeland appreciates the Tigers and we appreciate all of the fans that support the Grapefruit League and Spring Training in Florida.
The Florida Grapefruit League generates hundreds of millions of dollars per year in economic impact to 12 cities in Florida that host Major League teams. Here in Lakeland Spring Training generated well over $55 million in economic impact this past year and that money goes right into the local economy in hotel stays, restaurants, grocery stores, and other retail establishments.
There are plenty of chances to catch a Spring Training game during the month of March. Individual game tickets will be available for purchase at the TigerTown box office. For additional ticket information and special group pricing, call the Lakeland ticket office at 863.686.8075 or visit tigers.com/springtraining.
