Steinbrenner Field

The vibrant city of Tampa is filled with a variety of sports. From the National Football League's Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the National Hockey League's Tampa Bay Lightning to the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball, there is plenty to cheer about. Each spring since 1996, Steinbrenner Field has been the location for the New York Yankees spring training games. The Tampa Yankees, the minor league baseball team from the Florida State League, the Class A-Advanced affiliate of the New York Yankees, also play their home games in the stadium.

In 2008, this 11,000-seat stadium, originally named Legends Field, was renamed for former Tampa resident and Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner. While visiting this replica of the old Yankee stadium, be sure to view the life-size bronze statue of Steinbrenner in front of the stadium.

Stay close to the action, in one of the Tampa area Best Western hotels, for a wonderful night's rest.
