The Ballpark Experience
Once you’ve decided which game or practice you want to attend, it’s time to prepare for heading to the stadium! Buying tickets online will save you the stress and time of waiting in line at the stadium. And of course, while the Arizona sunshine makes this the perfect place for a baseball game, the sun can also be quite strong! Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water to stay hydrated and safe from the sun during the game.
It wouldn’t be the true baseball experience without hitting up the concession stands. Buy some peanuts and cracker jacks, a hot dog, nachos, or a beer to satisfy your appetite. Enjoy mountain views from the stadium as you watch the game, and bring a mitt of your own to catch a fly ball.
