Cincinnati Reds Spring Training 2009

The final Reds Sarasota exhibition schedule opens on Feb. 25 on the road at the new Charlotte Sports Complex as they take on the AL Champs the Tampa Bay Rays. The Reds make a total of three trips to Port Charlotte in 2009 with two additional matches on March 18 and 28 respectively. Baseball is a Sarasota tradition dating back to 1924, when the New York Giants arrived. They were followed by the Red Sox and then the White Sox. Now the Cincinnati Reds take the field in 2009 for the last time in Sarasota, with games at Sarasota's Ed Smith Stadium. This may be your last chance to see major league Spring Training played in Sarasota unless the city can make a deal with another Major League team.

Ticket prices for Reds 2008 spring training games were $14 for box seats, $12 for reserved seats and $7 for general admission. Certain games this spring will be considered "premium games." Prices are $2.00 more for Premium Games.

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.
More spring training schedules can be found at WorldsBestDeals.com and Spring Training tickets can be found at Team One Tickets.
