I think you have to at least be on the non-roster invitee to attend Spring Training.

Well.... what really happens is they have about 8-20 fields surrounding each MLB Spring Training Facility in a large complex. On the other fields the MiLB guys play games based on Class (Rookie, A, A+, AA, AAA). It operates almost just like the big league setup except with less ppl watching and they have full squad or split squad games.

I don't know of any team that has 20 fields around their spring training complex.
The Phillies Bright House Networks Field/Carpenter Complex, which has been recently remodeled and the field is only 5-6 years old, has a grand total of 6 fields including BHN.
That being said, all of the teams players usually train in or around the spring training complex, and there are no hard and fast rules as to who can come to a game. Many times, after the extra catchers are cut, minor league catchers are brought back up to the major team to catch allof the pitchers who are still working. Many times minor leaguers get into the games just because they're practicing near the team, and there is no set rule. Bottom line, even if the player's not on the 40 man or the non-roster invitee list,it doesn't mean he won't get into the game.

I think the guys who aren't on the 40-man roster/strictly minor leaguers filter in towards the end of February with some are already in Arizona/Florida working out.
Early around the first week in March, the minor league camp comes together and works separately from the MLB camp - though a lot of minor leaguers maybe on call for intrasquad games with some MLBers who need some at-bats or innings pitched or on call to play in MLB spring training games [split squad, particularly to go on road trips].
