Great idea! I liked the look of Greenville's ballpark from the outside. Thursdays here are dollar beer nights.

What don't you understand? I don't like spring training, it is for sucktards. Now, when the season starts I will certainly be meeting up with dback. :nod:

who do you go see? (you're on the west coast, right?)

I like Hammond Stadium a little, but of all the Grapefruit League parks... McKechnie Field in Bradenton was my favorite... (haven't been to Port Charlotte's new setup, but smart move by the Rays going there)

also - I heard the Reds moved to AZ... is anyone playing in Sarasota? that was a great town.

on the East Coast... the Orioles stadium is AWESOME.

Can't go wrong with any of them - all fairly new, except the Cubs, and they are getting a new stadium soon.

I haven't been to any of the newer West Valley stadiums - but have heard they are all nice. Most have two teams.

Dbacks/Rockies new complex is about to open - supposed to be real nice.

Scottsdale Stadium is nice - in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, so you can walk to places nearby, unlike the others.

Or, you could stay in Central Phoenix and be within 15-20 miles of all 15 teams.
