spring training question

[piratelooksat40]

when do the Braves report to spring practice?
we are going to DisneyWorld in Feb and wanted to catch a practice. Can you walk up and get admission or do you need advanced tickets?

Disney's Wide World of Sports will be open at that time. Since the Braves first pre-season game is March 2nd... I'd assume they'd be practicing there for at least a couple of weeks before that. Yes you can buy tickets there or online at braves.com. Even if there are no games there is about 20 practice fields behind the stadium that you don't have to pay to get access to. It's also a great place for autograph seekers.

From the AJC:

Braves pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report for spring training Feb. 19 at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Other position players are due in on Feb. 22 and the first full-squad workout is Feb. 23.

The Braves' Grapefruit League schedule begins March 2 against the New York Mets in Port St. Lucie, with the home opener set for March 3 against the Mets.

Depending on their ages, probably not - but who cares? :D They're probably looking forward to the tea cup ride more than you, so it all evens out.
