February 12Feb 12 Has anyone gone to the Spring Training Fields for practices? I am thinking of going Monday or Tuesday. Want to try and get some autographs. I assume for the Marlins it is not too busy, as other teams around Jupiter and Palm Beach would draw more autograph seekers. Any advice on going? Edited February 12Feb 12 by flsportsfan83
February 17Feb 17 I went yesterday. The full squad workouts before spring training games begin are the best. Everyone is there. Marlins camp is never too crowded. Its a very nice relaxed environment. I always try to make it out to one or two practices during the week before the first weekend of games. I definitely recommend. I'm not there for autographs. Just excited for the season to begin. A few players may sign when they walk by but most seem to wait until the practice is over. But i never stay that long. Big leaguers came out around 11 am. In years past i've checked out Cardinals practice too but i didn't go over there this time
February 17Feb 17 In years past the entrance for the cardinals was on the complete opposite side of the complex. so you either had to drive over or take a long walk. This year they've revised the layout and everyone is funneled through the entrance on the Marlins side. Closest parking is at the Abacoa skate park.
