If this isn't love than I don't know what is! I headed off for a Cubs game on my spring break, thanking the lucky starts I had entered the field of education, complete with bottom of the barrel salaries and a lifetime of spring breaks!
I had briefly looked up a few stadiums around town after listening to others go on and on about how great this 'spring training' in Phoenix gig is. We decided on Hohokam mainly for the team (my boyfriend is a Cubs fan), and secondly for the stadium, supposedly complete with Chicago style dogs and old style brew.
When we arrived I noticed herds of people happily walking from far away parking lots for the sold-out game. Sold out! On a Thursday for spring training! Yes it's true but luckily we scored 3 lawn seats (just what I was looking for a grassy spot in the sun), for just over double the $6 face value. After beering up and finding our perfect spot I proceeded to watch not a second of baseball. However, I did use the innings as a measure of when I should get another beer, or checkout the Italian sausage sandwich, and yes I have been craving it everyday since!
Spring training is a blast I HIGHLY recommend it for all!
