Good point, Mike. The Stone Crabs play night games; I wonder why the spring training games are different.

I came through there today at about 12:45 and I was stopped for less than 5 minutes while people crossed the road for the Rays / Phillies game.
Why would the Tampa bay team not just spring train in Tampa, it's not like they are going to get snow there and it's only about an hour north.

I wondered the same thing but was afraid to ask.

The reason they spring train here is to get a more expanded fan-base outside of the greater Tampa area. More fans=more $$$ And the Stone Crabs are the Ray's minor league team, so it only makes sense to play at Charlotte Sports Park
