The Florida State League is well underway at Jupiter’s Roger Dean Stadium. Home to the Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals—the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals respective Class-A Advanced farm teams—fans can catch a ballgame just about every day of the week. And with the wide array of special events and promoitions happening at the stadium, headed to a game is a win, win.
Special Events | July
On select Saturdays throughout the Florida State League season, Roger Dean Stadium breaks out the big bats for special events. Here’s a listing for July’s remaining events (we will update this portion each month):
On July 18, bring your appetite for Swings and Wings, Roger Dean’s all-you-can-eat chicken wing night. Local restaurants and chefs are welcome to put their prized chicken wing recipe to the test for the lip smackin’ good party, with the fans naming a people’s choice winner for some serious bragging rights. Admission costs $25 at the door ($20 in advance); includes one complimentary beverage of choice.
Fun-time Bonus: Bring Fido for Dog Days of Summer, Saturday, July 25. The pooch pass costs $5.
Spring training may have come and gone, but the baseball fun at Roger Dean Stadium is still abuzz. From April 9 through September 6, between the Jupiter Hammerheads and the Palm Beach Cardinals—the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals respective Class-A Advanced farm teams—fans can catch a ballgame just about every day of the week.
Compared to the swelling crowds of spring training, Florida State League games are relatively calm, with plenty of room for fans to stretch their legs. But this doesn’t mean this is chump ball; the players on the diamond are the future of the game, earning their stripes before being called up to the big dance. It’s a great opportunity to see the future stars of Major League Baseball in an intimate setting—roughly 6,800 seats in the stadium—without having to travel for miles to the ballpark in Little Havana. What’s more, the stadium has an array of special events, promotional nights and parties to stoke the baseball flame.
- First pitch is 6:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday (special events may change times); Saturday at 5:30 p.m., and 1 p.m. on Sunday. For a complete schedule of games and events, click here.
