JUPITER, Fla. — When the Cardinals open camp Monday, the first official workout of spring will begin the last spring before an overdue overhaul of their longtime Florida helps them build momentum in baseball’s latest arena of competition.
A $108 million plan to renovate Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium and the complex the Cardinals and Miami Marlins share is scheduled to start soon after the clubs leave for the coming regular season. The team’s current buildings will be torn down and replaced on each side with expanded facilities that will sport swank clubhouses, theater-seating meeting rooms, and sleek, two-story gyms, one for each team.
