Update: Lee County and the Red Sox have had to adjust their plan. Basically, the $75 million budgeted for the project isn't going to be enough. Among the cuts are a practice field, the luxury boxes, and shrinking of the berm and clubhouses. The park will have the same outfield dimensions as Fenway Park, along with bullpens just beyond the right field fence and a replica Green Monster with manual scoreboard. Larry Lucchino, team president, said,

"I like the Fenway similarity. The charm of Fenway Park. The Florida look and feel. Not a duplicate of Fenway Park with heavy red brick and New England style. It’s meant to be different and lighter and airier and breezier and more Florida-like."

Update: August 6, 2009: Why is does this park have a capacity of 9,999 you may ask? Well, it is because any park larger than that would be subject to state review. The park will have twenty acres of unused land that the Red Sox are allowed to develop. The park will be a miniature Fenway Park with lots of brick work.

Lee County selected the Waterman-Pinnacle site for the new Red Sox spring training facility. This parcel is located close to Southwest Florida International Airport. The County will pay $22 million for the 203 acres. This site was chosen because it is already zoned correctly.
