I'm glad we visited Surprise before we went out to Camelback, otherwise my review would've been even more scathing. Having never been to a spring training complex before, I didn't really have too many expectations. I figured somewhere along the lines of Single-A ball quality ballparks, with a few extra frills along the way. Once we arrived, that's exactly what we got -- a Single-A level ballpark.
What was surprising (see what I did there) was a lack of better food options. I've never been to the Ballpark in Arlington or Kauffman Stadium, but I would have to believe they have better food there. I just figured they'd bring whatever was at their own home parks to the spring training complex. Didn't appear that was the case.
A nice plus -- free municipal WiFI in the grandstand. Given that Verizon is pretty much unusable anywhere there's a large group of people, free WiFi was awesome. Also appreciated the free parking.
Just wish I would've arrived early enough to watch Zack Greinke throw a simulated game to Matt Kemp. Oh well!
