Lee County Baseball Spring Training

LEE COUNTY, Florida. The main theme this year is how important this spring training season is for tourism after three springs of COVID-19, the MLB lockout and Hurricane Yan affecting so much.

Sunday was a big day for both the Red Sox and the Twins as they drew 16,500 fans.

So far in 2023, the Red Sox are averaging about 8,200 fans in six games, and the Twins are averaging about 6,200 fans in five games.

This is slightly below the average attendance for both teams in 2019 as they drew around 19,317 fans in total.

Both teams expect more people to come this week as more families are on spring break.
