Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers, FL, is the home of the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels, the Minnesota Twins' Florida State League farm team, and Twins spring training. Its fountain-anchored façade provides one of the most impressive walk-ups in the minors.
The southernmost U.S. stadium that hosts affiliated baseball opened in 1991 in the Lee County Sports Complex. CenturyLink bought to the naming rights in 2015, but Hammond remained the stadium name in honor of the county manager who led bringing the Twins to town. CenturyLink did not renew the deal, and the complex name reverted in January 2022.
After Lee County built a new complex for the Boston Red Sox only about 10 minutes away, the Twins demanded and got an extensive renovation.
Hammond has a capacity of 7,500 people.
