How to Visit Legends Field

Legends Field is home to the New York Yankees during spring training. During the regular season, it is the home of the Tampa Yankees, a single A team in the Florida State League. The park seats 10,000 fans and has identical dimensions to Yankees Stadium. Those facts should make it obvious to any Yankees fan why the place is called Legends Field.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Start by visiting the field's website to get an idea of where it is, what its seating looks like, and some of the other activities that are held there. It also is home to Hillsborough Community College Baseball Hawks, and a variety of special functions and concerts.
2. Decide whether or not you want to go during spring training or at another time. Obviously, spring training will be the busiest. Check at the Field's website to see if there is a special event that might interest you.
3. Check the Yank's spring training schedule if that is when you choose to go. Check the Tampa team's regular season schedule if you are going during the regular season.
4. Check the website of the Tampa Bay tourist guide for accommodations as well as other activities in the Tampa area--there are a lot! During spring training, there are a total of 18 Major League Baseball teams that train in Florida.
5. Make hotel accommodations. Make ticket reservations through the Legends Field website.
