Tigers’ spring training schedule released

Detroit released their spring training schedule this week.  Now’s the time to look through it to see if there are any stadiums / areas you want to check out.  One of my off-season goals is to setup some sort of Tiger spring training travel section on this site.  Doubtful it’ll happen, but its a goal.

The schedule is pretty straight forward, but here’s some areas of interest:

  • No games against Boston, Minnesota, Florida, or St Louis.
  • Out of 33 Grapefruit league games (not including Milwaukee), only two are on the east side of Florida.
  • Four split squad games.
  • 16 games are in Lakeland
  • All the games in Lakeland and 11 of the 17 road games (44 games total) are within 70 miles of Tampa.  Its a good mid-point for a spring trip.

My big goal this spring was to hit the east side of Florida;  the schedule doesn’t look too promising.
