This our 8th. trip to spring training and we think we have the ins and outs down pat. If the Cubs don't have a home game we like to go to Fitch Park, about a 1/2 mile east of Ho Ho Kam and watch the baby cubs practice. Parking is free and so is the entrance. You can talk to the players and get autographs of future stars (we hope). On away games, around 10am you can get into Ho ho Kam free and watch the Cubs take batting practice before they load the bus. A great time to get autographs and foul balls. Usually there are only about hundred fans at the park then. We stay in Scottsdale and take McKellips to Center. Park for $5 and tail gate. When we exit the park we head west on Center and stay in the right lane past Mckellips and then u turn. Otherwise you may spend 10 mins. plus waiting to make a left turn. We buy our game tickets thru the Ho Ho Kams who charge a minimum fee and usually get the exact seats we request, sec. 117 by the Cubs dugout, sun to our backs. Have fun.........Joel
