Roger
Dean Stadium
Jupiter, FL
|
|
One of
the best and most active locations is in the new
urban development of Abacoa. Roger Dean Stadium is
not only film friendly and great looking but
extremely convenient. A hop, skip and a jump off
I-95 and Donald Ross Road, this stadium has major
league potential. From attractive entrance gates
to great looking ticket counters, from a
well-manicured field to meticulously maintained
bleachers, this stadium is one popular attraction.
In the last few months, Roger Dean has hosted a
Frito Lay commercial shoot featuring Cal Ripkin,
Jr. and a DirectTV commercial.
General Manager Rob Rabenecker credits Roger Dean
Stadium's success because "not only is Roger
Dean the best spring training facility but it's
also the best venue for other ventures. We pride
our-
|
|
selves on being as
service oriented to commercials and visiting
productions as we are to the fans who come to the
games."
The stadium is ultra-convenient for several
reasons: parking is a cinch, the town center
offers dining accommodations and convenience, and
visiting productions can catch a game while
they're in town. |
