Hotel Near Ed Smith Stadium Baltimore Orioles Spring Training

Take in the Baltimore Orioles while staying with us! Located less than five miles (click here for an interactive Google Map) from your Hampton Inn Sarasota Florida Hotel door is Ed Smith Stadium, spring training home of the Baltimore Orioles. Named after the former President of the Sarasota Sports Committee, Ed Smith, Ed Smith Stadium is the centerpiece of the city of Sarasota’s 53-acre Sports Complex. Built in 1989, the park holds 7,500 fans and is the past spring training home of the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds. Former minor league tenants have included the Sarasota White Sox, Sarasota Red Sox, and the Sarasota Reds. 

Comprised of more than 6,500 stadium seats and 1,000 bleachers, there are arguably no bad seats to be had there, fans can take advantage of several great vantage points within the stadium. And located directly behind the stadium’s outfield wall are four practice fields where the Baltimore Orioles train before the beginning of their spring training schedule.
