BayCare Ballpark opened in 2004 and is the home of Phillies Spring Training and the Low-A Southeast League Clearwater Threshers. The Phillies have been training in Clearwater, Florida, since 1947, the second-longest affiliation between a major league club and its spring training home in baseball. 

The concourse completely wraps around the stadium and is open to the playing field. The berm encompasses most of the outfield, not just one side. The bullpens are cut into the berm, literally putting fans on top of the relievers. The extremely popular Frenchy's Tiki Pavilion, a full service bar, is between the bullpens and left field foul pole. Picnic table seating is available on a terrace, an area for kids is behind it, and there's even a small upper deck with club level seating. This ballpark has it all, including an attractive Spanish Mediterranean exterior and a fountain plaza landscaped with palm trees.
