Detroit Tigers release new spring training schedule: 29 games with fans in the stands

There's a new Grapefruit League schedule, and spring training will proceed despite COVID-19 concerns.

The Detroit Tigers, planning for up to 2,000 fans in the stands at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium, will play 29 games.

The Tigers begin the schedule with a Feb. 28 home game against the Philadelphia Phillies in Lakeland, Florida, followed by a trip to Tampa for a March 1 clash with the New York Yankees. Spring training wraps up March 30 in Lakeland against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The new spring training schedule was created for health and safety purposes amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
