Sports had always been integral to the life and culture of Southwest Florida. There are beach volleyballs in many of the sea sides in the region, jet-ski races that have their annual championship in the region, swamp buggy races in the Everglades and, of course, golf in the many golf courses of Naples area.

It’s safe to say that a real behind the scenes look at what’s happening during their favorite team’s training is a dream of all sports fans. The Jetblue Park Stadium can make those dreams come true.
For those of you who don’t know, The Boston Red Sox was first assembled as far back as 1901, in Massachusetts. The team has been since considered a Major League Baseball team and has won 8 World Series Championships out of the 12 times the team played throughout its existence. And also, did you know that the team was named The Red Stockings before 1908? Well, now you do and that’s how they got their team logo as well. However, longstanding as they may be, things were not always bright and sunny for this team as they suffered what was dubbed as the longest championship drought in history. However, the team always manages to get back up on their feet and start creating legacy all over again. They won a World Series Championship again in 2004, after an 86 year drought.
Because of this resilience and dedication of this team, they were rivaled against the New York Yankees and they had a very long and interesting rivalry for as long as people can remember. It is a very iconic and fierce rivalry, one that would not be easily forgotten in the history of sports. The Fenway Sports Group is the owners of Red Sox who happens to also be the same owner of the football team Liverpool F. C.
