This Winter has been one of the coldest in recent history, but Arizona continues to experience gorgeous weather. March is the perfect time to visit Arizona, not only because it will give you a break from your routine, enjoy 70 - 80 degree warm Spring days, but it's also Spring Training time for baseball.
Several of the baseball teams pick the Phoenix area as their Spring Training home. There are lots of stadiums that you can visit, but I prefer The Salt River Fields. Home of the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks. Why do I like this stadium, let me show you while I tell you what makes this stadium the best.
1.) The food - they have all the usual game food items; popcorn, peanuts, etc. But this field also has a restaurant and the concession stands bring the food to you while you enjoy the game!
2.) Sangria - it will run you $10.00, but it's a pretty large serving. My favorite is the red, it's not as sweet as the white.
3.) There's not a bad seat in the place. I especially enjoy the lawn seats at $9.00. You can see the lawn seats in the photo above.
Where to stay while you're here? Make sure to verify where the stadium is 1st as the drive between stadiums can be anywhere from 20 - 45 minutes away. Most are around the Scottsdale area and I suggest staying in a hotel in Scottsdale. There's lots of restaurants, bars and shopping all within walking distance. When you're not at a game, you'll want to be able to get around town easily and don't forget your swim suit...it is Arizona after all!!
Happy Traveling!
