Cleveland Indians to Move Spring Training in 2009

The Cleveland Indians announced Thursday that they will be moving their spring training facility from Winter Haven Florida to Goodyear Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix beginning in 2009. The new site is a $74.5 million project, half of which is being paid by the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority. The plans call for a 8500-10,000-seat stadium.

The Indians have trained in Winter Haven since 1993. Before that they trained in Arizona for over forty years.
