The Phillies’ spring training facility – the Carpenter Complex, which includes the recently renamed Spectrum Field – has long had the reputation of being one of the best training destinations for players and fans alike. Even when the franchise was falling behind on things like advanced analytics and progressive in-game tactics, its player and fan accommodations in Clearwater were written about as being ahead of the curve.
As with any place worth traveling to, availability of food and quality dining are part of the allure of Clearwater. Spring Training Connection depicts Spectrum Field itself as having fare that will make sojourners from Philly feel at home: cheesesteaks and, for the adult crowd, a selection of what Wheels and T-Mac used to call “adult beverages” during their joint broadcasts.
