Arizona Diamondbacks

Stadium : Tucson Electric Park

Tucson Electric Park is the spring-training home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The park is located in the Kino Sports Complex, a 155 acre facility with 12 practice fields, 3 infields, and over 3,300 parking spots. The stadium is perfectly set up to accommodate the spring-training crowds, allowing you the ability to get close to Major-league players. The Arizona Diamondbacks have trained in Tucson since the team's inception. That said, the D'backs lease is up in 2012 at Tucson Electric Park and their future staus at the facility is unknown.

Still, Tucson Electric Park is a gem of a ballpark, an example of a modern minor-league park done right. After parking in the adjoining parking lot, you enter Tucson Electric Park at ground level and look down to the action from a concourse level. The main grandstand area features theater-style seats, while there's two levels of bleachers down each line.

The outfield area is noteworthy in that there's not a single bleacher seat; instead, the designers wisely put in grassy areas on both sides of a concession area in dead-center field. It's a great area for families to throw down a blanket -- the kids can run around and play catch, while the adults get a great view of the action. The bullpens are in front of the center-field concession stand, and you can look down at them from the outfield grass. A concourse rings the entire playing field, so you can wander throughout the stadium through the course of a game. If you go, spring for a grandstand seat or sit out in the outfield grass. Don't mess with the metal grandstands unless you must. There are club seats on the second level of the grandstand, but these are quite a ways from the action and are not recommended.
