JetBlue Park at Fenway South, Baseball park in Fort Myers, Florida, United States
JetBlue Park at Fenway South is a baseball park in Fort Myers, Florida, United States. It serves as the spring training home of the Boston Red Sox and features a field with the same dimensions as Fenway Park, including a replica of the Green Monster with seating inside the wall.
The Red Sox had been looking for a new spring training site since 2008, and after considering a move to Sarasota, they decided to stay in Fort Myers. The park opened in 2012, replacing the older City of Palms Park and a separate minor league complex.
The park brings a piece of Boston baseball tradition to Florida, where fans gather each spring to watch the Red Sox prepare for the season. The manual scoreboard, operated by someone who runs out with a ladder and tiles, adds a quirky touch that recalls older ballparks.
The ballpark is easy to reach by car and has ample parking. Visitors should be aware that the Florida sun can be strong, so wearing sunscreen and a hat is advised, and the wavy roof provides shade over the main seating area.
The Green Monster in left field has three rows of seats inside the wall, known as mid-Monster seating, which were added to comply with local wind codes. The manual scoreboard is the same unit used at Fenway Park for decades and was stored in South Dakota before being installed here.
