A Break for Bites
While the crack of the bat is the main event, the real home runs happen off the field. From pedal-powered pubs to patio parties, here’s how to fuel your Scottsdale stay:
- Don't just walk to the stadium—pedal. Arizona Party Bike hosts a high-energy “Spring Training Pre-Game Bar Crawl” through the heart of Old Town, dropping you off at Scottsdale Stadium just in time for first pitch.
- For the best local vibes, head to Goldwater Brewing Co. Their patio becomes a Spring Training hub featuring a rotating lineup of gourmet food trucks, live DJs, and bands that keep the energy high long after the ninth inning.
- Flash your ticket stub for major league savings. HiFi Kitchen & Cocktails is serving up legendary penny Bud Lights for ticket holders, while Mother Tucker’s Tavern keeps the party going with BOGO drinks and half-off appetizers.
Beyond the Bases
Scottsdale is more than just a baseball town; it’s a desert playground. When the sun is high and the standings are settled, explore the best of the West:
- Trade the bleachers for the boulevards at Scottsdale Fashion Square or shop the charming boutiques of Old Town. Afterward, soothe those "spectator muscles" at one of the city’s 50+ world-class spas.
- See the Sonoran Desert from a new perspective. Catch a discounted sunrise drift with Rainbow Ryders hot air balloons, or kick up some dust on a rugged ATV trek with Desert Wolf Tours.
- Retreat to the Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale for a sophisticated finish. At the Clubhouse, you can indulge in a gourmet "Team-Themed Hot Dog" menu—a culinary tribute to your favorite Cactus League contenders.
Trip Tip: Scottsdale gets busy during March, so plan ahead a few days before your trip and book that hot air balloon ride or a spa treatment before you arrive.
