Overview
Lakeland Flying Tigers play in the Florida State League as the Single-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. Home games are at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium.
Why It’s Worth Knowing
Minor League Baseball is often an easier, more relaxed way for visitors to experience an American ball game. Seats can feel closer to the action, promotions are family focused, and the atmosphere is usually less formal than a major-league event.

Season
The Florida State League normally plays through spring and summer. Match dates, first-pitch times and promotions vary, so check the current team schedule before travelling.
Henry’s Tip
Try a night game: Florida evenings can be more comfortable than daytime baseball. Check weather, parking, bag rules and any themed promotion before you leave the villa.
