Spring Training In Tiger Town
Like a number of major league baseball teams, the Detroit Tigers head to Florida every year for spring training. And if you want to see the Tigers play any preseason games, you might have to hitch a limo or luxury sedan to the airport and fly down Lakeland, FLA, for a seat in the stadium.
Tiger Town is the Spring Training headquarters for the Detroit Tigers and the regular season home of its minor league farm team in the Class A Florida State League, The Lakeland Tigers. It’s owned and operated by the City of Lakeland. The City of Lakeland’s Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for maintaining the facilities.
