Minnesota Twins' spring training now back to being called Lee County Sports Complex

Correction: Single-game tickets are on sale online, but not at the Hammond Stadium box office. That date will be sometime next month.

The end of 2021 marked the end of CenturyLink Sports Complex as the name of the Minnesota Twins' spring training home in Fort Myers.

The Low-A Fort Myers Mighty Mussels also played in the complex, at Hammond Stadium, where the Twins do as well.

CenturyLink became Lumen in 2020, and Twins vice president of communications Dustin Morse confirmed that some of the CenturyLink signage is down, and for the time being, the complex will revert to its former name, Lee County Sports Complex, until Minnesota can secure a new naming rights sponsor. The CenturyLink sponsorship began in 2014.

Fans are shown during the 2021 spring training opener for the Minnesota Twins at Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers. The naming rights for the sports complex itself between the Twins and CenturyLink concluded at the end of 2021, so it's now known as the Lee County Sports Complex until a new naming rights sponsor can be found by the club.

As for when fans can see the complex's main tenant, Morse said that a date for single-game tickets going on sale at Hammond Stadium still had not been finalized, other than them going on sale sometime next month. Single-game tickets are on sale at twinsbaseball.com.

Major League Baseball currently has locked out players as it negotiates with the players' association on a new collective bargaining agreement. The two sides were scheduled to meet Thursday.
