Camelback Ranch

View from Center Field

The main reason for our Arizona Spring Break trip was to catch a few spring training games.  The Dodgers and the White Sox share the stadium called Camelback Ranch in Glendale.  We saw the Dodgers play the Rockies one day and then the Sox play the Angels the next.  Our seats were up the 3rd base line in the first row of the second section of seats (as seen from the photos below).

We really enjoyed seeing games in the smaller venue which holds just over 13,000 spectators.  While we had a great time, it would have been advantageous to have more shade in the park as well as better concessions.  The second day we ate before we made it to the field and brought in our own water.

One great thing about spring training games which don't count, the crowd is pretty laid back, and I didn't hear anyone getting out of hand or swearing.
