I've lived in Phoenix for about three years now and I finally made it out to my first spring training game. Now I have to preface this with the fact that the entire outing was free (in the VIP area)! My employer decided to have our delayed holiday party at the ballpark and the weather was cooperating. There's nothing better than sipping cold beer under an umbrella while taking in the sights. I'm not much of a baseball fan but the people watching and the amazing weather and decent snacks were enjoyable. It's the end of Feb and almost too warm to be in the full sun. I can't imagine sitting in the sun once spring is in full bloom but I will more than likely attend again. Next time I will bring a blanket and my own umbrella so I can take a nap on the lawn in between drinking several much needed beers.
Side note: they now serve Widmer Hefeweizen on tap! Yay!
