A million Spring Training Complex/Stadium specially designed to house two Major League Baseball teams. The complex is a state-of-the-art facility. Roger Dean Stadium is the only stadium in the country to host two minor league teams as well as the only stadium in Florida to host two spring training teams. The stadium features luxury sky-box seating, permanent seating, parking and concessions.

Roger Dean Stadium, located in Jupiter’s shopping district Abacoa, was built in 1998 and holds 7,200 spectators. It is the only stadium in the country to host two minor league teams: the Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals of the Class-A Baseball Florida State League as well as the only stadium in Florida to host two spring training teams: the Florida Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals. The Montreal Expos used to share the stadium with the Cardinals, until they swapped with the Marlins in 2002 as part of the Marlins sale to Jeffrey Loria.
