TD Ballpark

TD Ballpark sits at the eastern edge of downtown Dunedin — a walkable small-town Florida downtown with Main Street's restaurants, breweries, and shops a short walk from the gates. Dunedin reads distinctly from most Florida spring-training cities: it's a compact pedestrian Scottish-heritage downtown with a craft-beer reputation outsized to its small population, anchored by several walkable breweries that draw spring-training visitors away from the ballpark in the pre- and post-game hours. The Pinellas Trail runs through downtown adjacent to the ballpark, with bike traffic the year-round norm. Honeymoon Island State Park, with its Gulf-front beach, sits a short drive west via the Dunedin Causeway and is the area's prime non-baseball draw. Clearwater Beach sits 15-20 minutes south.

Plan to arrive 60-90 minutes before first pitch for Blue Jays spring-training games in March — TD Ballpark's small footprint and Dunedin's compact street grid mean parking and walk-up traffic both build early, and the pre-game brewery scene on Main Street fills well before first pitch. For Dunedin Blue Jays Florida State League games during the summer regular season, parking flow is gentle and a 45-minute arrival works. The ballpark was renamed TD Ballpark in 2019 under a naming-rights deal with TD Bank, formalized just before the comprehensive 2019-2020 renovation that rebuilt the seating bowl, clubhouses, and concourses; the venue was Florida Auto Exchange Stadium briefly (2014-2017), Knology Park before that, and Grant Field at opening in 1990. The defining fact about Dunedin: it is the Toronto Blue Jays' only spring-training home and has been since the franchise's 1977 founding — the Blue Jays have no Arizona facility and trained in Dunedin even before this stadium opened (at Grant Field's earlier configuration). Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the team site before going.

TD Ballpark opened in 1990 as Grant Field, was later Knology Park and then Florida Auto Exchange Stadium, and was renamed TD Ballpark in 2019 under a naming-rights deal with TD Bank (the Canadian bank with extensive U.S. operations — fitting for the Blue Jays' shared cross-border identity). A comprehensive 2019-2020 renovation rebuilt the seating bowl, clubhouses, and concourses while preserving the 1990 footprint. The ballpark serves a dual role as the Toronto Blue Jays' Grapefruit League spring-training home and the year-round home of the Dunedin Blue Jays, the parent club's Single-A Florida State League affiliate. The Blue Jays have trained in Dunedin since the franchise's founding in 1977 — Dunedin is the franchise's only spring-training home in its entire history, and the Blue Jays are the only MLB club without an Arizona Cactus League option. Capacity sits around 8,500. The Dunedin Blue Jays shifted from the High-A Florida State League to the Single-A Florida State League under MLB's 2021 minor-league reorganization. The Pinellas Trail rail-trail runs adjacent to the ballpark, making bike-in arrival unusually common.
