2012 Tampa Bay Rays Spring Training Schedule & Spring Training Tickets

The Park was renovated to the tune of some $28 Million to welcome the team to their new spring home starting in 2009.

So if you attend workouts or games, you'll be among those witnessing a recent rebirth of spring training in Port Charlotte as well as updated new digs for the team.

The facility had been without a team since the Texas Rangers left after the 2002 season.

The Tampa Bay Rays will open their 2012 Spring Training exhibition season against the Minnesota Twins at 1:05 pm on March 3, 2012 on the road in Ft. Myers, Florida at Hammond Stadium (See complete game schedule below.).

The first spring training work out for the Rays is scheduled for mid-February, 2012 when pitchers and catchers have their first workout. The full squad is scheduled to report shortly thereafter.

MLB tickets to see the Tampa Bay Rays spring training schedule exhibition games have been around since the franchise first began in 1998. The Rays are lucky in that their spring training facility is located in their home state of Florida. It makes it easy for the local fans to come out to the old ball game during spring training season.

Make your plans to come out and see this year's new comers hoping to make the team along with returning Tampa Bay Rays as well as veterans.

There's nothing like watching spring training exhibition games while being able to work on your tan. Ah, Florida Spring Training!!
