I've been to corporate events, concerts and Spring Training games here, and I've been consistently surprised at how well they do what they do.
First the field. At Spring training games you are so close you feel like you're watching a little league game. The grass is go green it almost looks fake (it's not). And the backdrop of office and apartment buildings is decidedly suburban. I finally get the big draw.
Next - the vendors. Taco in a bag (must experience to believe). Strawberries and banana dipped in chocolate on a stick. Great pizza. Amazing choices of beer. Oh, if only they had a selection of soda the way they had a selection of beer.
Parking is plentiful and the grounds are always kept neat. Folks who work there have all been helpful and friendly. It may feel like it's forever away from our Phoenix core, but it's not to far for an experience that BOB or Chase Field could never provide.
