It’s a whole new spring game at JetBlue Park, as the Boston Red Sox plan a training schedule with new start times and a ballpark reminiscent of Fenway Park.
You can view the schedule here.
Tickets for all 2012 Spring Training games at JetBlue Park are scheduled to go on sale on Saturday, December 17, at 10 a.m. If past history holds true, the Red Sox should sell out their entire spring-training lineup by the end of that day. We’ve already run a story on the ticket prices: they will range from $5 to $46 for the 2012 season with more than 75 percent of tickets available priced at $27 or less.
The new ballpark is one of many changes for Red Sox training. Instead of holding practice at a remote facility, the Red Sox will hold practices at the same complex holding JetBlue Park; no buses running shuttles to a separate address. In addition, the Red Sox are changing game times: day games will now start at 1:35 p.m., instead of the traditional 1:05 p.m.

Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report on Sunday, February 19, and will hold the first workout on Tuesday, February 21 with the first full squad workout on Saturday, February 25. All workouts are open to the public free of charge.
