Never saw the stadium before the renovation, but this Cactus League stadium looks nice and more importantly does not feature Scottsdale prices either.
PARKING - Keep driving past the stadium and the homeowners trying to get you to park on the lawns. They have a residential area three blocks away and plenty of spots were available for free.
BEER: The have cans of beer for $6. I found it way in the corner of the outfield near the pretzel truck.
FOOD- Ike's is the probably the best choice, but $4 kettle corn was good also.
CROWD- lots of families on the grass and not as much a party atmosphere as other places, but not the senior citizen festival either.
I liked this stadium slightly over Scottsdale, but Salt River still rules so far as the Spring tour winds down. Some lawn seats are tough to see game, but on a weekday seating was plentiful in the outfield.
