The former Thomas J. White Stadium in Port St. Lucie, Florida is currently called Tradition Field. This 7,800-seat stadium is the current home of the New York Mets and offers fans a comfortable view of their favorite players under the Florida sun. There are various ways you can get info on the former Thomas J. White Stadium and spring training for the New York Mets.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Review a neighborhood map surrounding Thomas J. White Stadium to find free parking during spring training. A popular spot for free parking on game days is the access road across from the stadium's main entrance.

  2. Step 2

    Gather with your fellow baseball fans at the minor league field entrance each day during spring training to get autographs. The Mets organization, from rookie ball to the major leagues, practices on this field throughout spring training.

  3. Step 3

    Speak with a box office representative at Thomas J. White Stadium to get info on the third base Party Terrace. This terrace features a paved area for private parties, as well as a picnic area in the rear section ideal for families.

  4. Step 4

    Enjoy Mets exhibition baseball while stretching your legs out on well-manicured grass by purchasing tickets for the right field berm. You should arrive early to get a good spot in this general admission section.

  5. Step 5

    Explore the wide range of Mets jerseys, posters and other memorabilia available at the new team store in Thomas J. White Stadium. You should keep an eye out for spring training collectibles and special discounts available during fan appreciation days.

  6. Step 6

    Work with the box office staff at Thomas J. White Stadium to get info on shaded areas within the stadium. Your best bet when it comes to protection from the sun while watching spring training baseball is the upper level between the home and visitor dugouts.

  7. Step 7

    Scan the spring training schedule for the New York Mets to find intrasquad and exhibition games at the beginning of camp. Intrasquad games typically pit the major league team against young prospects and admission is free. Exhibition games against college and international teams in Thomas J. White Stadium are typically charity events.

Tips & Warnings
  • Venture out to the St. Lucie Bat House at the old Thomas J. White Stadium before you sit down for a spring training game. This bat habitat was created by the city and stadium officials to deal with the large population of bats on the grounds of Tradition Field. The Bat House houses up to 15,000 bats just inside the eastern gate.
