Tradition Field
In 1988, the New York Mets moved their spring training home to St. Lucie West, a new 4,600-acre master planned community, and the City of Port St. Lucie became known as their new winter home. As the area has grown and prospered, the Mets have become a local tradition. In 2003 the Town of Tradition was founded just four miles from the Mets' spring training complex, combining the down home feel of neighborhoods the way they used to be with all the features and amenities today's consumers expect. Now these two great traditions have come together. Along with the New York Mets' announcement that they have extended their lease in Port St. Lucie until at least 2018, on February 19, 2004 , the refurbished stadium officially became known as Tradition Field.
