'''Roger Dean Stadium''' is a baseball stadium located in the Abacoa community of the town of Jupiter, Florida. The Roger Dean Stadium Complex is the only stadium in the country to host four Minor League Baseball teams: the [[Jupiter Hammerheads]] and [[Palm Beach Cardinals]] of the [[Low-A Southeast]], and the [[Gulf Coast Marlins]] and [[Gulf Coast League Cardinals]] of the Rookie-level [[Gulf Coast League]].
'''Coastal Florida Sports Park''' was built and opened in 1964 by the city of Cocoa as the spring training home for [[Major League Baseball]]'s [[Houston Colt .45s]]. The ballpark was dedicated on March 15, 1964 prior to its first spring training game. Cocoa Expo was the spring training home of the Colt .45s and Astros through 1984. The ballpark was purchased by private ownership in 1984 and turned into a center for amateur sports.


Roger Dean Stadium is one of only two stadiums in Florida to host two [[Major League Baseball]] teams annually for spring training: the [[Miami Marlins]] and [[St. Louis Cardinals]] (the other is [[FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches]], which opened in 2017, hosting the [[Washington Nationals]] and [[Houston Astros]]).  In both venues, the teams share the main stadium where the games are played.
