Digital Domain Park is a baseball stadium located in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The stadium was built in time for the 1988 season and holds 7,160 people. It is the Spring training home of the New York Mets, as well as the home to the St. Lucie Mets Class A team and the Gulf Coast Mets Rookie League team.
Thomas J. White, the person for whom the was stadium was originally named, was a politician in Florida who worked with sportswriter Jack Champion on the successful campaign to bring the Mets to Port St. Lucie. In 2004 the Mets changed the name of the venue to Tradition Field.
On March 23, 2010, during a Mets spring training game against the Atlanta Braves, it was announced that effective immediately the stadium would be renamed Digital Domain Park, as a result of a multi-year partnership between the Mets and Digital Domain.
