eMailbag: Where to Stay, What to do in St Lucie

by Matthew Cerrone on February 13th, 2009 at 12:40 pm

Kevin K sent in the following e-mail:

“I’m writing because a couple buddies and I are heading to spring training this season for the first time and I was hoping you could give us some lodging recommendations.  For example hotels that are closest, nicest or in walking distance to anything.  From what I’ve heard and read Port St. Lucie isn’t the most happening place but figured you might be able to help.”

This season will be only my second trip to spring training, so I am far from an expert. 

Last week, Kevin Burkhardt from SNY sent in an e-mail, which you can read here, for fans looking to attend pitchers and catchers.

As for other information, from hotels, restaurants, etc., the best fan guide I have ever seen can be found at MetsGrrl.com, who, while the post is from last season, is a must read for people going to Tradition Field.

Also, read Marty Noble’s guide for MLB.com from last season.

Lastly, check out SpringTrainingMagazine.com, which has solid information about lodging and restaurants as well.
