Absolutely the best place to see a Spring Training game.

A good spot to network or enjoy a game with friends. The food is beyond bad. Honestly if they're not going to try at all they should just skip it. These types of offerings are available at every spring training stadium so go to a better stadium and pay less for a better experience.

I will start off by saying that Scottsdale Stadium is my least favorite Spring Training Stadium. To get it up to the standards of the other two stadiums that we enjoyed this spring would require knocking the entire stadium down and starting over. Then there is the parking problem. Parking near the stadium is essentially non-existent. We arrived 2 hours before the game to get a space in the parking garage next to the stadium. By the time we had walked down the stairs to ground level, there was a steady stream of cars entering the structure. I suspect that the garage was full 90-minutes before game time. A couple of days earlier we tried to shop in Old Town Scottsdale; but, the first open parking space with more than a one hour limit was nearly a half a mile from the stadium. There were lots of golf carts to ride into the stadium at $10-25/ride. Then there is the ticket price. The game we attended was the most expensive of the three games we enjoyed this spring. Concession are typical ballpark food, under good and over priced. Game enjoyment was substandard too. The seats were the smallest and least comfortable of the three stadiums and did not have cup holders. As a result, I saw several cups that had spilled into the the lower seats. I compare the seat comfort with a low cost airline seat. The scoreboard pointed directly at the sun. The reflection made it almost impossible to see anything posted on the scoreboard. The line score was too small to read from the first base seats and if you moved to the grand stand, the scoreboard was obscured by cables. In the future, if we want to see San Francisco Giants Spring Training, we will go to another stadium.

This is one of the best stadiums in the entire cactus league. The physical building covered in brick makes you feel like you are at the Giant's stadium in San Francisco. So when you are walking to your seats, it has a really cool mini-stadium feel. There is also a lot of great food and drink options all over the stadium to make sure you have something nice to enjoy while watching the game.My favorite part of the stadium is the seat selection, particularly the bar area in the outfield. This provides a great environment to really enjoy the game with a group of people, or even a place to make some friends. You can watch the game with a full-service bar right by your side. You still have the classic stadium seats around the infield, and the standard Arizona outfield lawn seats as well. So depending on what you like, there are options.You can't really put a physical characteristic on this field on why it's so great, because the atmosphere provided by the people/fans is really what makes this stadium amazing. Maybe because it's right in old town and it's just really easy to get to. Either way, it's a great location to enjoy some spring training.

I had to venture to enemy territory since it was next to Old Town. Saw former Doyer Corey Seager (he played well). Hate the Gints. Nice stadium. Lots of food choices. Parking was a pain so we drove down 2 blocks and found free parking.

This stadium was very clean and renovated that way it did not look old and run down. the staff was surprisingly nice and navigating through the stadium was easy. the suite was beautiful and the food tasted great for stadium food.

I lovey my Giants! I have been a Giants fan before I could walk, so it pains me to say Scottsdale Stadium is not my favorite Spring Training field. Parking sucks, they don't have enough little tables to eat at and/or hangout before the games, the bathrooms are meh. I'm only giving 4 stars because I'm a die hard Giants fan...

Located behind Old Town Scottsdale, the stadium is tucked behind the fashion plaza and the hospital. Parking is a bit insane so I suggest showing up early to a game to look through the public parking lots in the area. The stadium itself is a little run down, nothing compared to Hohokum stadium. By the looks of it, your best value is simply a lawn side ticket, where you'll enjoy 'cheaper' seats but don't have to sit on a hard bench the whole time. There are food and drink vendors located all along the lawn behind the scoreboard, as well as what looked like a restaurant just above the bullpen? One thing to note is it gets really cold so please remember a jacket and warm clothes or you will freeze.

This review is based on opening day of Spring training with the home team San Francisco Giants. I bought my ticket the day Spring Training tickets went on sale. I paid over $50 each for 303 level bleacher seats. These were not resale tickets. They ended up being really good baseball watching seats as far as seeing the game. We were behind home plate but in the bleachers. The way the stadium is built we were probably equal to a lower level seat at another spring training stadium. Again it was bleacher seats and no cup holders etc. Three large guys were sitting in our row so luckily there were empty spots so we could spread out. Could be uncomfortable with a sellout crowd. The stadium is really choppy. We like walking around the stadium and checking out different views. You cannot walk on the lawn unless you have a lawn seat tickets. The Charros lodge is a VIP section that is all inclusive food and drink and I recall tickets were $150 plus each. Another part of the stadium that is cut off for the person that paid $55 for a ticket. The section that we were able to check out was very small and confining. The food there was also basic popcorn ( very stale) hot dogs, Island Noodles , etc. The team store was also very small and super crowded. I've been to most spring training facilities if not all in the valley. This one is choppy, small, expensive and no frills. The staff was amazing and super friendly though! It's like Scottsdale just gave up and decided to do the bare minimum. I would check out some other facilities in the valley. Chicago Cubs and Diamondbacks are really nice! Probably will skip this location until they build a new one!

One of many ballparks and a nice small park to see a game. Every seat is a good seat to watch the game.

Horrible parking unless you go two hours early. No elevators for seniors. $82 bleacher type seats in 301?Thanks for the memories.

I am a big fan of baseball and after moving to Scottsdale (from Ohio) in July of 2021, I knew that in Feb/March, my first priority would be getting to as many Spring Training games as I could. Living in Scottsdale, I'd drive past this Stadium often and knew I wanted to go when the Giants play the Cleveland Guardians. And even though the 2022 Spring Training schedule got cut short because of the contract negotiations, we still ended up making it to the game (which ended up being a Friday 1p game).This was my first Spring Training experience and it wasn't quite what I thought it would be. For over $70/ticket, the seats were pretty much bleacher seats and felt like it was a AA or AAA game. I mean I know it wouldn't be as big as an MLB game, but it was just not the vibe I was thinking of. Another thing that impacted my experience was that after I ordered my food (two hot dogs and a drink), they handed my a fountain Coke with no lid or straw. I at least wanted a straw so as my boyfriend and I were walking past the ice cream stand, we saw a ton of straws behind the counter. I asked the worker if I could have one and he just shook his head no (said nothing!). I actually thought he was kidding at first so I laughed and stood there for a minute and he was serious. It was SO RUDE! So that impacted my experience so much that when my boyfriend wanted to get ice cream later, I actually refused (please see all of my other Yelp reviews to see how obsessed I am with ice cream lol). So that tells you how annoyed I was. Hot dogs were on point though and I totally recommend those. Nachos were terrible. Basically just stale Tostitos out of the bag and warmed up cheese (no option for salsa, sour cream, etc). Tried to get a beer in the 7th, but they were all closed up. Even if I wanted one, it looks like it was all Miller Lite, Bud, etc. Given it's in Scottsdale, they should sell local craft beers here (maybe there were some in the outfield....?)Fans weren't totally that into it. We saw a few other Cleveland fans and some SF fans. But it seems like this particular game had a lot of people who just wanted to go to a Spring Training game. Which kind of impacts the experience a little. If you go, make sure to try to get a spot in the shade. Luckily we did.This hovers between 2 and 3 stars for me. I did end up going to Goodyear the next day and had a MUCH better experience. But I'm still surprised I spent $70+ a ticket for this experience. I actually just bought tickets at the exact same price for the first row in the upper deck behind home plate at Dodger Stadium. So I just cannot believe they charge so much for tickets at this Stadium. As a Scottsdale local, what I can tell you is that you're paying for the real estate with this park. So you're much better off going to any other park for cheaper prices. Don't go here unless you're a Giants fan.
