'''Tinker Field''' is a [[stadium]] in [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], [[Florida]]. It is primarily used for [[baseball]], and was the home field of the [[Orlando Rays]] [[minor league]] baseball team before they moved to [[The Ballpark at Disney's Wide World of Sports]] in 2000. It is located directly adjacent to the western side of the [[Citrus Bowl]], at 1610 West Church Street, and holds 5,100 people.


Constructed in 1914, Tinker Field was the spring training home of the [[Brooklyn Dodgers]], [[Cincinnati Reds]], [[History of the Washington Senators (1901–60)|Washington Senators]], and [[Minnesota Twins]]. It was also the home park of the [[Montgomery Biscuits|Orlando Rays]] [[minor league]] baseball team before they moved to [[Champion Stadium|Cracker Jack Stadium]] in 2000. It was located directly adjacent to the western side of the aforementioned football stadium and boasted a capacity of 5,100 before the grandstands were removed in 2015.
The stadium was built in 1914, and is named after former baseball Hall of Famer, [[Joe Tinker]]. On May 14, 2004, it was added to the [[United States|U.S.]] [[National Register of Historic Places]]. The [[Minnesota Twins|Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins]] used Tinker Field as their spring training home until after the 1990 season.


==History==
Tinker Field may be refurbished or redeveloped possibly as part of the refurbishment of the Citrus Bowl. Although some plans for "Downtown Master Plan 3", a redevelopment plan for that section of Orlando, suggest tearing down Tinker Field, such plans would prove difficult given its status on the National Register of Historic Places.<ref>[http://www.ci.orlando.fl.us/elected/venues/pdf/Phase3MasterPlan.pdf Downtown Master Plan Phase 3]</ref>
The field first saw use for baseball in 1914; the first known stadium built on the site was in 1923. It was all-wood construction and seated 1,500. For the next 10 years, the [[Cincinnati Reds]] called Tinker Field their [[spring training]] home until 1933. The [[Brooklyn Dodgers]] trained there in 1934 and 1935. In 1936, [[Clark Griffith]] moved spring training of the [[Washington Senators (1901–1960)|Washington Senators]] to Orlando, where the Senators (who later relocated as the [[Minnesota Twins]]) trained until after the 1990 season. The stadium was rebuilt again in 1963, and when [[Griffith Stadium]] in Washington, D.C., was demolished, nearly 1,000 of the stadium's seats were moved to Tinker Field. The remaining seats were sold by the City of Orlando in 2015.<ref>{{Cite news |first=Jeff |last=Weiner |title=Orlando to sell Tinker Field seats at Citrus Bowl this month |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-tinker-field-seats-sale-orlando-citrus-bowl-20150916-story.html |newspaper=[[Orlando Sentinel]] |access-date=2015-11-04 |date=2015-09-16}}</ref> The old press box next to the home side dugout was the original press box and can be seen in photographs as early as the 1920s.

Some [[college football]] games were played at the stadium, one example being the 1937 edition of the [[Orange Blossom Classic]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Hampton Loses To A.&M. 25-20|newspaper=The Sunday Sentinel-Star|date=December 5, 1937|page=7|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-orlando-sentinel-hampton-loses-to-a/130321686/|via=newspapers.com}}</ref>

On January 28, 2014, during the groundbreaking of the [[Orlando Citrus Bowl]] stadium reconstruction, it was announced that the grandstands and all other extant buildings surrounding Tinker Field would be torn down. The reasons cited were that the expansion of the Orlando Citrus Bowl stadium would shorten right field of Tinker Field so much that it would make it unusable even if it the entire building complex was renovated. On March 9, 2015, Orlando City Council approved an ordinance to demolish the grandstands and buildings, and allocated money to re-create the area surrounding the field.<ref>{{cite news |title=Orlando City Council votes to demolish Tinker Field grandstands |url=https://www.wftv.com/news/local/orlando-city-council-votes-demolish-tinker-field-g/69410279/ |work=[[WFTV]] |access-date=2015-11-04 |date=March 9, 2015}}</ref>

Tinker Field was an outdoor baseball stadium in Orlando, Florida, United States. Named after Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Joe Tinker, it was located in the West Lakes neighborhoods of Downtown Orlando. In April 2015, the City of Orlando tore down the grandstands and removed all other extant buildings, due to its proximity to renovation work on the Orlando Citrus Bowl football stadium (later renamed as Camping World Stadium). The ballpark is now memorialized by Tinker Field History Plaza.[6]

Constructed in 1914, Tinker Field was the spring training home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, Washington Senators, and Minnesota Twins. It was also the home park of the Orlando Rays minor league baseball team before they moved to Cracker Jack Stadium in 2000. It was located directly adjacent to the western side of the aforementioned football stadium and boasted a capacity of 5,100 before the grandstands were removed in 2015.

History[edit]

The field first saw use for baseball in 1914; the first known stadium built on the site was in 1923. It was all-wood construction and seated 1,500. For the next 10 years, the Cincinnati Reds called Tinker Field their spring training home until 1933. The Brooklyn Dodgers trained there in 1934 and 1935. In 1936, Clark Griffith moved spring training of the Washington Senators to Orlando, where the Senators (who later relocated as the Minnesota Twins) trained until after the 1990 season. The stadium was rebuilt again in 1963, and when Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C., was demolished, nearly 1,000 of the stadium's seats were moved to Tinker Field. The remaining seats were sold by the City of Orlando in 2015.[7] The old press box next to the home side dugout was the original press box and can be seen in photographs as early as the 1920s.

Some college football games were played at the stadium, one example being the 1937 edition of the Orange Blossom Classic.[8]

Tinker Field was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[9] One of the most historical non-baseball events to take place at Tinker Field was a visit from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on March 6, 1964. He spoke before thousands of people from the pitcher's mound in his only public speech in the city.[10]

On January 28, 2014, during the groundbreaking of the Orlando Citrus Bowl stadium reconstruction, it was announced that the grandstands and all other extant buildings surrounding Tinker Field would be torn down. The reasons cited were that the expansion of the Orlando Citrus Bowl stadium would shorten right field of Tinker Field so much that it would make it unusable even if it the entire building complex was renovated. On March 9, 2015, Orlando City Council approved an ordinance to demolish the grandstands and buildings, and allocated money to re-create the area surrounding the field.[11]

In September, 2015, the City of Orlando held a public input meeting and unveiled preliminary plans to memorialize Tinker Field.[12] Tinker Field History Plaza opened in May 2018, memorializing civil rights and baseball in Orlando.[13]

Present[edit]

Each November, Tinker Field hosts the Electric Daisy Carnival—a three-day festival that features electronic dance music with celebrity DJs, visual effects, rides, and art.[14]

On September 6, 2015, Tinker Field was the site of West Lakes Family Fun Day—an event held by members of the neighborhoods surrounding the field prior to the MEAC/SWAC Challenge.

Each June or July, Tinker Field hosted the Orlando Vans Warped Tour—a one-day festival that features rock music with popular bands from around the world.
