The grandstand at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium.
The press box behind home plate. The park was built in 1990 and lacks the luxury suites that are common in modern parks.
The outfield at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium is fairly uniform, though the wall is taller to the left of the line scoreboard.
The distance markers on the outfield wall are in both feet and meters, a nod to the park's Canadian tenants.
Though most of the Blue Jays practice fields are located off-site, a small field is located next to the stadium and features artificial turf so the Jays players can get used to the turf at Rogers Centre.
The current ballpark was built in 1990 on the site of Grant Field, where the Blue Jays had been training since 1977.
Plaques on the concourse wall celebrate former Dunedin Blue Jays who have made it to the major leagues.
