This baseball season, we’re encouraging our clients and friends to consider a baseball outing for a fun day or evening out…and there’s no better place to do so locally than with the Clearwater Threshers!
The Clearwater Threshers play at Bright House Field, right in the middle of Clearwater and super accessible from Tampa, St. Pete and north Pinellas County or even Pasco County. Here’s a quick link to directions to see the Clearwater Threshers and their schedule. It is a beautiful ballpark to enjoy a day out in the Florida weather. This is also the home of the Phillies for Spring Training, an activity we highly recommend for all ages! Bright House Field is fully ADA accessible.
Logistics for older adults attending a Clearwater Threshers game:
- Contact our Senior Concierge Team to help you plan all the logistics for a great outing and provide transportation, pleasant company and assistance when needed.
- Consider choosing shaded seats for daytime games (see the link below for info. or check with ticketing staff).
- Handicapped seating: Disabled seating is available throughout the ballpark. Limited wheelchair seating is available (check with the ticket office in person or via phone). One companion seat is available for purchase with each wheelchair space. An elevator is available for disabled use on the first base side of the stadium (South Parking Lot). Drop-off is available on the West Side of the ballpark (no elevator access here). Ushers can provide assistance entering and exiting the ballpark.
- You cannot bring food or drink into the stadium, with the exception of one unopened bottle of water/person. There are some extra special concessions at Bright House stadium, such as Delco Cheesesteaks and other “Philly-area favorites” plus local flavors like Lee Roy Selmon’s BBQ and Cuban sandwiches.
Check out Spring Training Connection’s Phillies page for more details about the stadium, such as parking and seating.
