| - Beautiful park, great selection of concessions, fantastic location in old town Scottsdale, money going to a good cause with the Charros, and the World Champion Giants. So why isn't this a five star review? Because the experience there is about as kid-friendly as an NFL game. It's like an overpriced strip club with (just slightly) more clothes. There are hardly any activities for kids like at other Spring Training parks around town. And the boorish swearing 20, 30, and 40-something drunks we ran into in every section around the field might've been fun people watching for us adults but horrifying for the kids. I definitely understand letting people have a good time, but come on...concessions staff and security, including off duty LEOs, just watched drunk people stumble around everywhere from the expensive seats all the way to the lawn. Spring Training was once about kids getting close and personal with the players, getting autographs, and watching the teams at a lower cost and more intimate venue. If you're of-age and looking to funnel beers like you're on Spring Break, definitely check out this park. But if you're taking anyone under 13 or so, be warned and consider going elsewhere.
