The Phillies open on the road in Lakeland against the Detroit Tigers on February 22nd. They play their home opener the next day in Clearwater at BayCare Park against the Baltimore Orioles.

Question for the board, I’ve never been to spring training and next year I would like to change that. To go for about 7-10 days, what is the best strategy? I was thinking maybe the last 4-5 days of workouts before games start and then 3-5 days of games at the start of the spring schedule. What would others recommend that have been there and done that?

Buddy, here’s an article my friend Steve posted just before spring training last year. The information provided is still accurate. Especially regarding parking and the construction next to the Complex. In addition to BJ’s the mall offers a few other restaurants. M favorite is PF Changs.

The Phillies are on the road on the 25th and 26th. They play the Rays on the 25th in Port Charlotte which is a long drive. But they play the Blue Jays on the 26th in Dunedin which is about 10-15 minutes north of the Complex.
Keep an eye out for the start dates for spring training when planning. Last year,
I don’t want to tell you what the start dates will be in 2025. I would just be best guessing. But you can expect there to be activity at the Complex during the mornings of the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday the week before their opening Grapefruit League game.
I’ll keep this open for a few days if you have any questions.

Very helpful Jim, thank you so much. We’ll probably come down a few days before the games start to see some workouts and then attend the first few home games and Dunedin. Appreciate it.
