Spring Training in the Valley of the Sun
Although it’s still football season here in New England (go Pats!), I’m excited for baseball season to start. While my beloved Red Sox don’t play in the Cactus League, many other great teams do. If you are looking for a March getaway, and want to catch some great spring training games, consider visiting the greater Phoenix area.
Last year, I had the opportunity to visit Phoenix during spring training, and I had such a great time that I decided to visit this year with my family. We are visiting in March, and plan to check out several games.
During spring training, there’s no such thing as a bad (or expensive) seat. I went to three games at three different stadiums, and loved feeling like I am part of the action. Although Fenway Park is small, I never get that kind of up-close experience during the regular season. Plus, the warm weather makes it such a fabulous outdoor activity. We plan to get lawn seats, like those shown in the photo above, and just spread out and enjoy.
Spring training in Phoenix starts March 2, 2012.
