点评:You never have a bad time watching a Spring Training game, but Joker Marchant definitely has some issues. We’ve been to several ST stadiums and so far, this has definitely been our least favorite.
The first big problem we encountered was just getting to the parking at the stadium. They built this stadium in the middle of an area that is pretty residential. The roads in and out are tiny residential streets that are just not cut out for handling all the traffic. We left ourselves enough travel time to get there an hour+ early, but we sat in traffic less than a mile from the stadium for so long, we actually ended up missing the top of the 1st inning.
Once we finally got to the parking, it was directed by (mostly very elderly) people who seemed to be a little befuddled about the whole process. We were nearly in a fender-bender because they were waving two different cars to the exact same spot.
Once you finally arrive at the stadium, everything else also seems to be disorganized and a bit chaotic. A woman scanned our tickets, then they tried to make us scan our tickets again. We never went through any sort of security, and my wife’s bag was never checked. We were cool with that, but it seems odd in this day and age that people can enter a stadium without going through security.
Once inside, we grabbed some food which was, honestly, terrible. The sandwiches were so greasy they fell apart when we tried to pick them up.
The on field guy who does the games and contests was using a mic that was constantly going in and out. The scoreboard operator consistently had the wrong batter up to bat, the wrong ball/strike count and sometimes even the wrong team up to bat. Some players were announced and put on the board as “unknown”.
Our seats, which should have been really good seats, had terrible sight lines, and the seats were angled partially away from home plate. We had to try to twist our bodies towards home plate just to see the action.
The security guy in our section was a very elderly man who could barely walk up and down the stairs.
Did we have a fun time despite all this? Absolutely. But the experience could have also been much better and more comfortable.
We can’t recommend Joker Marchant Stadium as there are simply much better Spring Training venues in Florida.

翻译:观看春季训练赛时你永远不会觉得不舒服,但小丑马钱特肯定有一些问题。我们去过几个 ST 体育场,到目前为止,这绝对是我们最不喜欢的。
我们遇到的第一个大问题是去体育场的停车场。他们在一个相当住宅区的中间建造了这个体育场。进出的道路都是很小的住宅街道,无法容纳所有的交通。我们给自己留了足够的时间,提前一个多小时到达那里,但我们在距离体育场不到一英里的地方堵了很长时间,实际上我们最终错过了第一局的上半场。
当我们最终到达停车场时,由(大部分是老人)引导,他们似乎对整个过程有点困惑。我们差点发生车祸,因为他们正在挥舞着两辆不同的汽车到完全相同的地点。
当你最终到达体育场时,其他一切似乎都杂乱无章,有点混乱。一位女士扫描了我们的门票,然后他们试图让我们再次扫描门票。我们从未经过任何形式的安检,我妻子的包也从未被检查过。我们对此很冷静,但在当今时代,人们无需经过安检就可以进入体育场,这似乎很奇怪。
进去后,我们抓了一些食物,说实话,很糟糕。三明治太油腻了,当我们试图拿起它们时,它们就散开了。
负责比赛和比赛的现场人员使用的麦克风不断进出。记分牌操作员总是错误的击球手、错误的球/击球计数,有时甚至错误的球队击球。一些球员被宣布并被列为“未知”。
我们的座位本来应该是很好的座位,但视线却很糟糕,而且座位的角度部分远离本垒板。我们必须尝试将身体转向本垒才能看到动作。
我们部门的保安是一位非常年长的男子,几乎无法上下楼梯。
尽管如此,我们还玩得开心吗?绝对地。但体验也可以更好、更舒适。
我们不能推荐 Joker Marchant 体育场,因为佛罗里达州有更好的春季训练场地。
