Tips
JJ Mugges Stadium Grille
Visit JJ Muggs Stadium Grille after a Cardinals game at Roger Dean Stadium. It is a family style restaurant that features a bar with several domestic and imported beers. You can leave your car in the parking lot and walk to the grille. What a great way to beat the post game traffic and take in some great food, drink, and sports in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere.
Cardinals Home Games
Cardinals fans should consider buying tickets for the games when the Marlins are hosting the Cardinals as the visiting team. These games tend to be easier to get than the sold out Cardinals home games, you don't have to go anywhere, and the only difference is the Cardinals are wearing grey and bat first.
Roger Dean Stadium Ticket Office
The ticket office opens at 9:00 a.m., and since Berm Tickets are sold 'Day of Game' only, depending on the opponent there can be a huge line as early as 7:00 a.m.
Roger Dean Stadium
Both the Florida Turnpike (Exit 116) and I-95 (Exit 87) run paralell to Jupiter at Indiantown Road, making access from either road convenient to access Roger Dean Stadium off Exit 83 (Donald Ross Road).
Abacoa Town Center
The Abacoa Town Center located near Roger Dean Stadium is open for lunch daily at 11:00 a.m. and there is a Starbucks for early risers.
There are four main bars and all have daily specials. Rooney's, Jumby Bay Island Grill, JJ Muggs Stadium Grill and Masa Sagami (which is a Japenese Steakhouse, but one of the better bars in the area).
Unique Kids Seating
In the berm area along the right field line, there’s a cool area where kids are within handshake distance of the players in the bullpen. Between innings is a good time to ask for autographs because during play a foul ball could come scorching down the line-keep your head up. There used to be a sign here that read, “This area is reserved for children only.” And the usher has the right to use discretion if the kids start driving any of the players’ nuts.

Free Trolley
Roger Dean Stadium provides a trolley to safely take fans through the complex and out to the back fields to watch training during the workouts before the games start. These workouts are free and open to the public.
A Restaurant Tip
A restaurant tip: Little Moir's Leftover Cafe, at University and Military Trail, barely a mile due east of Roger Dean Stadium. This place is worth a special trip even after Spring Training. Some of the best seafood north of Key West.
