The St. Louis Cardinals revealed their new Spring Training facilities by turning the camera over to Matthew Liberatore for their tour with a creative play on words.
As pitchers and catchers have now reported to Jupiter, Florida, Matthew Liberatore and a lone camera person gave a tour of what the new training facilities are like.
The walkthrough included 6 or 7 new covered batting cages, pitching machines, weight room areas including outdoor options and the multi-purpose field for ground ball work. The new performance center is impressive with both minor league and major league areas intertwined. The saunas and hyperbaric chambers are state of the art and the brand new food room is stocked with what Matthew says are healthy food options.
According to the Sports Business Journal, the St. Louis Cardinals invested $108 million dollars for these new Spring Training places. I fully expect there will be ample references to that being greater than the St. Louis Cardinals payroll for the coming season.
One additional side note. The St. Louis Cardinals just released the Spring Training broadcast schedule.
