Things To Do In Central Florida: The Detroit Tigers Spring Training Schedule Announced
Central Florida attractions include the 73rd consecutive season of the Detroit Tigers spring training.
February will mark the Tigers 73rd season at 'TigerTown' in Lakeland, extending the longest-standing relationship between a major league team and a current Spring Training host city. The 2009 spring season marks the club's 44th consecutive season of exhibition play at Joker Marchant Stadium.
"We're excited to have the Detroit Tigers back in Lakeland for another year. Polk County looks forward to the beginning of spring training and this is just another of the many Central Florida attractions that makes our area a great place to vacation. This is a unique opportunity for visitors and residents to enjoy a fun-filled, professional baseball experience, without the high cost normally associated with a major league game," said Mark Jackson, Director of the Central Florida Visitors and Convention Bureau (http://www.visitcentralflorida.org/).
The Tigers will begin the exhibition schedule on Wednesday, February 25 as the club welcomes the Atlanta Braves to Joker Marchant Stadium, the first of 19 exhibition games played in Lakeland during the upcoming spring. Detroit will host two exhibition games in advance of the World Baseball Classic with Venezuela and Panama on Tuesday, March 3 and Wednesday, March 4, respectively.
Tickets for the 2009 spring exhibition season will be priced at two separate levels, with all prices remaining the same as 2008. The first set is for premium games, which includes all games against the Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, New York Yankees and all Friday, Saturday and Sunday games. The second price level is for the remainder of the schedule. Premium game ticket prices range from $10-$21, while the ticket prices for the remainder of games range from $8-$19.

Visitors will find plenty to do between baseball games -- from some of the best Florida fishing to skydiving and botanical gardens. We have many of the best Florida campgrounds right here in Polk County along with RV parks, hotels and resorts, making this area ideal for empty nesters and families alike," said Jackson.
