Scottsdale - Baseball Spring Training
Each team has a "home base" during their spring training, and Scottsdale Stadium plays host to the San Francisco Giants. Scottsdale Stadium is a new stadium and one of the nicer such venues in the area. The Giants face off here each year against teams such as the Chicago Cubs, the Seattle Mariners, and the Texas Rangers. Games start in early March and run through the end of the month. Below is some helpful information for visitors and fans interested in attending a spring training game.
Schedules for the upcoming season are released in mid-December, and tickets go on sale in early January. Tickets are as cheap as a few dollars for bleacher or lawn seating, and even boxes are rarely over $20. Most games are in the early afternoon. Scottsdale Stadium: 480-990-7972

Each
year in late February, a dozen major league teams convene in the Phoenix/Scottsdale
area to get in shape for the coming season. Fans flock to these practice games,
where they can watch their favorite teams formulate strategies and hone their
playing skills as they play against other major teams. As an added bonus, spring
training games are only a fraction of the price of in-season baseball games.
