Daytona Tortugas (Reds Single-A) vs. St. Lucie Mets (Mets Single-A)

Day 2 of the Big Florida 8-day 8-game would bring us to Daytona Beach and Jackie Robinson Ballpark, the oldest active Minor League ballpark.

The game also marks the first of five Florida State League (FSL) games on the trip. By the end of the trip, I will see all ten FSL teams across five different Single-A ballparks.

Unlike all of the other Single-A ballparks, Jackie Robinson Ballpark is the only ballpark in the FSL that does not also serve as a Spring Training ballpark.

Part of the charm of this classic ballpark is the use of a manual scoreboard.

Seat Selection

Saturday night was a sold out night. I chose general admission tickets in the bleacher area along the third base line.

Ballpark Food of Choice

Cinnamon Pretzel

Daytona concessions consist of a number of freestanding booths along the first base side of the ballpark. At the recommendation of the team store staff, I went with the warm pretzel.
