Roger Dean Stadium

Talk about your double plays! Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter is the spring training home to not one, but two World Series Championship teams – the St. Louis Cardinals and Florida Marlins. In their opening spring game, the Marlins beat the Cardinals 6-3. Marlins’ prospect Matt Dominguez hit a no-doubt two-run homer in the second inning, bringing the crowd to their feet. Marlins’ fans are anxious to see relief pitcher Clay Hensley get some work, while Cardinal fans want to see how Colby Rasmus and Yadier Molina do in their Grapefruit League debuts. Spring training games will continue through the end of March, and individual and group tickets are available. I love going to this stadium – it’s just a few minutes off I-95, and close to some fun activities to fill my down time. Just can’t beat a spring game followed by a sunset hike up the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, or an early morning paddle at Riverbend Park.

About the author - Maria Hayworth

She’s not quite a Florida native, but Maria’s about as close as they come. She moved here when she was nine months old, and has lived in the Sunshine State ever since. Maria currently lives on a peninsula between the Halifax River and the Atlantic Ocean, just a quick stroll from the beach where she, her husband and her three sons (ages 6, 15 and 17) spend much of their free time together. After work and most weekends you can find one or more of them surfing, building sandcastles, playing soccer or just chilling out at the water’s edge. Raised in Florida’s tourism industry (Maria started working at her parent’s tourist shop in World Famous Daytona Beach at just 10 year old), it’s no wonder the travel industry is in her blood. After college, she worked for various tourism organizations, including a stint as PR Director for VISIT FLORIDA, the state’s official tourism marketing organization. She now enjoys promoting resorts and destinations on her own schedule. Maria and her family have traveled all over the world and still consider Florida their #1 vacation destination of choice.
