This is absolutely the BEST Spring Training facility I've been to here in AZ.
Thoughtfully designed - according to their materials, designed so that 85% of the seats get shade at some point during games, but there are also seats that get full sun 100% of the time, so you have your choice.
The lawn is lush and green - designed for families with kids, with tickets 1/2 the price of the actual seat stands, but there weren't many kids the day I was there. They have dispensers of SPF 30 sunscreen right there for your use! No chairs allowed, just blankets, FYI.
Yes, the refreshments weren't cheap - but I don't think they were any more expensive than at any other Spring Training game I've been to. I don't know what the other reviewer was thinking - they expect a bottle of water for $1??? Geesh. I *think* you can bring one bottle of your own water in, but no other food or refreshments. They DO check your bags.
The complainers will complain - after all, we ARE in Arizona, where people complain about just about everything.
There's a nice choice of food here, mostly by local businesses.
They seem to have figured out how to direct traffic into the stadium and where to direct people to park - I live down the street and I was caught in traffic jams the first weekend before they resolved that issue. Yes, the parking areas are dusty - you will have to keep your windows rolled up.
We ARE in the desert, folks!
I see they have scheduled events other than Spring Training games here - a concert, a charity benefit...it's nice to see this gorgeous venue won't be wasted the other 11 months of the year!
