4Sarasota.com: Baltimore Orioles Spring Training 2011

http://www.4sarasota.com/Sarasota/Recreation/baltimore_orioles_spring_training.html

The Orioles will play their first of 16 home spring training games in 2011 at the newly renovated Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota on Tuesday, March 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays. 2011 marks the second consecutive spring training for the Orioles in Sarasota, and the first in the newly renovated ballpark.

By the time Grapefruit League play begins in Sarasota, Ed Smith Stadium will have undergone extensive improvements which dramatically transforms the ballpark aesthetics and radically expands areas and amenities for fans. Enhancements to the fan experience include the addition of a two-story concourse with shaded views of the playing field; a new stucco façade with tile accents; refurbished stadium seats directly from Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore; additional private suites and party facilities; and a state-of-the-art audio/video system and video board. Improvements to the player facilities include new dugouts and bullpens; a new half field with AstroTurf; refurbished batting cages; and a practice field with the same dimensions as Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Baltimore will face nine different opponents at home during the 2011 spring campaign and will host the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers two times each at Ed Smith Stadium. The Minnesota Twins will make three trips to Sarasota and the Tampa Bay Rays, Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays will each make one visit.

The Orioles will play 15 games on the road during the 2011 spring schedule. They will make three trips to play the Twins and Pirates, two trips to face the Tigers and Phillies and one trip to face the Astros, Yankees, Rays, Red Sox and Blue Jays.

The Orioles will play their final 2011 spring training game in Sarasota on Tuesday, March 29 against the Toronto Blue Jays, prior to their regular season opener against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, April 1 in St. Petersburg.

Ticket prices for Orioles 2010 spring training games are TBA. Info line: 941-954-4101

Nearby are the Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Red Sox spring training camps. Be sure to check their schedules for more exciting baseball action.
