The Chicago Cubs play
Spring Training Baseball at HoHoKam
Park in Mesa, Arizona. Cubs games
typically have higher attendance
than any other Cactus League games
in Arizona. HoHoKam Park is located
at 1235 N. Center Street, Mesa, AZ
85201,480-964-4467.
The name HoHoKam means
'those who vanished' can be traced
back to a local Native American
tribe that was formerly in the Mesa
area, however HoHoKam Park is named
after a local charitable
organization that was key in luring
the Cubs to Mesa's Rendezvous Park
way back in 1952. (The Cubs have not
been training Mesa continuously
since 1952; the team moved spring
training to Long Beach in 1966 and
Scottsdale in 1967 before moving
back to Mesa in 1979.) HoHoKam Park
is probably the hottest ticket in
the Cactus League. And with a total
capacity of 12,623 (including 8,000
fixed seats, 2,000 bleacher seats,
and lawn capacity of over 2,500),
HoHoKam Park is the second-largest
stadium in the Cactus League.
HoHoKam Park is a top notch
spring-training facility. It
certainly has the largest scoreboard
in the Cactus League featuring a
12'x16' instant replay video screen
on a 32-foot high left-field
scoreboard. The contours of the
outfield wall are designed with the
same dimensions of those at Wrigley
Field but there's no ivy or
brickwork. HoHoKam Park is
also the home of the Arizona Fall
League Mesa Solar Sox and the Mesa
Cubs in the Arizona Rookie League.
The Spring
Training schedule for the 2008
season is below. All games start at
1:05 p.m. Arizona time unless
otherwise stated. The games will be
played at HoHoKam Park, unless
otherwise stated.
If you find yourself flying into
Phoenix for Spring Training for a
game or vacation and find you just
love the landscape of Arizona,
perhaps a vacation home, second home
is in order! Be sure to give me a
call and I will be happy to arrange
some properties that fit your
criteria and enhanced your visit to
Arizona even more eventful!! Visit
