Mets Spring Training 2027 at Clover Park: A Fan’s Guide

Mets Spring Training 2027 at Clover Park: A Fan’s Guide

Every February, Port St. Lucie becomes the spring home of the New York Mets. From the first open workouts in mid-February to the last Grapefruit League game in late March, Clover Park is the place to see Major League players up close, in the sunshine, for a fraction of regular-season prices. If you’re planning a winter or early-spring stay with us, here’s everything you need to know about Mets spring training 2027.

Mets spring training 2027: key dates

The Mets have released their 2027 spring training schedule, and it opens right here in Port St. Lucie.

  • Opening game: Friday, February 19, 2027, Mets vs Miami Marlins at Clover Park. It’s also the opening game of the whole Grapefruit League.
  • Home games: 15 of the Mets’ 30 spring training games are at Clover Park.
  • Opponents: mostly fellow east-coast Florida teams. The Houston Astros and Miami Marlins (7 games each), Washington Nationals and St. Louis Cardinals (6 each), plus the Atlanta Braves and Minnesota Twins (2 each).
  • Game times and ticket on-sale date: still to be announced. Keep an eye on mets.com and stluciemets.com.

Spring training games usually run from the opener through late March, so the busiest weeks for visitors are late February and the whole of March. Schedules can change, so always check the official sites before you book tickets.

Free open workouts

One of the best-kept secrets of spring training is the open workouts before the games begin. Pitchers and catchers report first, then the full squad arrives, and fans can watch practice for free. In 2026 open workouts started on February 11 and ran daily, with gates opening at 9:30am. Expect a similar pattern in 2027, starting roughly a week before the first game.

Parking for workouts was free on non-game days in 2026, and this is often the best chance of the whole spring to grab autographs and photos along the rail.

Tickets

Spring training tickets cost far less than a regular-season game in New York, and Clover Park is small enough that there’s really no bad seat. A few tips:

  • Buy early for weekends and big opponents. Weekend games and the opening day game sell out first.
  • Tickets are digital. You’ll need them in the MLB Ballpark app or Apple Wallet. Screenshots are not accepted at the gate.
  • Want batting practice? In 2026 Clover Park sold a limited BP pass ($75, first 75 fans) and an early entry pass ($25), both letting you in 2.5 hours before first pitch.
  • Box office: open weekdays 10am–4pm and weekends 10am–2pm (2026 hours).

Getting there and parking

Clover Park is in the St. Lucie West area of Port St. Lucie, just off I-95. From I-95, take Exit 121 east on St. Lucie West Boulevard, turn left onto Peacock Boulevard and the ballpark is about half a mile on the right. On busy days, the Midway Road exit (126) via Torino Parkway can be a quieter way in.

Game-day parking was $15 plus tax per car in 2026 ($25 for buses and RVs). Gates open 1 hour 40 minutes before first pitch.

Know before you go

  • Clover Park is cashless. Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay only, including parking and food. If you only have cash, the Fan Shop will swap it for a gift card.
  • Strict bag policy. No bags except medical bags, diaper bags, a small clutch, or a purse or fanny pack up to 5″ x 9″. Folding chairs and large umbrellas aren’t allowed.
  • Bring sun protection. Most games are afternoon starts and the Florida sun is strong even in February. A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are essential. See our month-by-month weather guide for what to expect.
  • No smoking or vaping anywhere in the stadium.

Make a week of it

Spring training fits perfectly into a longer Port St. Lucie break. Catch an afternoon game, then spend the rest of the week on the beaches of the Treasure Coast, playing a round at one of the local golf courses, or enjoying dinner by the river at the Port District. February and March are also peak snowbird season, so many fans stay for a month or more. Our Port St. Lucie snowbird guide has more ideas.

Where to stay for Mets spring training

Hotels near the ballpark fill up and get pricey in March. A private vacation home gives your group space to spread out, a kitchen for game-day breakfasts and somewhere to relax by the pool after the game. Choose from our Port St. Lucie homes:
