Getting Ready for Spring Training in the East Valley

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Sonoran Living SA572600000

For all of you who love going outside and enjoying some sun and baseball, I have some good news for you. MLB’s spring training will be starting back up in just a few weeks, the beginning of March, and the East Valley is home to some great baseball teams like the Angles, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Giants, and Rockies. If you’re interested in check out a Cactus League game and want to stay in the East Valley, here are some quick overviews of the teams and their stadiums.

 

Anaheim Angles

Tempe Diablo Stadium

2200 W Alameda Dr,

Tempe, AZ 85282

 

Come out and see superstars Mike Trout and Albert Puljos get ready for the 2016 season. Tempe Diablo as been the Cactus League home for the Angles for almost 25 years now and the stadium is still beautiful. Fans have the choice of sitting in the pavilion or lawn. Lawn tickets start at $10, general admission start at $15. Tempe even offers a free shuttle to and from the stadium.

Chicago Cubs

Cubs Park

2330 W Rio Salado Pkwy,

Mesa, AZ 85201

 

Two years ago, the Cubs moved into their new spring training facility and it continues to be Mesa’s hottest March ticket. With the surprise of the 2015 Cubs going to the NL championship series, this year’s spring training should be even wilder than ever. The stadium itself is a little replica of Wrigley Field, with the outfield lawn seats being just as crazy. Tickets start at $10 for lawn seats and I highly recommend buying your tickets in advanced for Cub’s games.

San Francisco Giants

Scottsdale Stadium

7408 E Osborn Rd,

Scottsdale, AZ 85251

 

The Giants have won three of the last six World Series and look to get back on track for 2016. Scottsdale Stadium is located in Old Town Scottsdale, and has a reputation for constantly selling out. Lawn seats start at $10, while general admission starts at $15. Scottsdale is very happening place during March, so come take in a game and then enjoy everything Old Town has to offer.

Spring Training Tempe 

Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies

Salt River Fields at Talking Stick

7555 N Pima Rd,

Scottsdale, AZ 85258

The hometown Arizona Diamonds and Colorado Rockies share the Salt River Fields, so you can safely assume there will be a game here every day in March. Salt River Fields is a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility. Lawn seats start at $11 and general admission starts at $21. It’s located right off Loop 101 in Scottsdale, so it’s really easy to get to.

Relocating or a Second Home is a great option for 4-5 months instead of shoveling snow and taking in some great Baseball during spring training

That Cubs training center/field is really nice too.  Even if team was bad, they likely would still get good turn out.
