Just went to spring training/phoenix. Pretty great three night trip. Went to a suns game. People in Phoenix hate michael beasley.
Spring training fun? Will have access to a house next year for that and Phoenix open. I know I want to do the Phoenix open, trying to decide if I should do both.
Yeah, it's a good town for a three day weekend. Decent nightlife, good food (place called "the arrogant butcher" is especially good) and cheap. Weather beats the hell out of kc in february.
I don't want to overhype it, but spring training is pretty great. Tickets are eight bucks, no one really monitors where you sit, you can watch players hit in the cages. I bought a ticket for the outfield plaza and moved down to the first row behind home plate. I was about three feet from ned yost and eavesdropping on his conversation with dave eiland. It's basically a minor league baseball game environment but with the major league roster.
If anyone goes down, check out a bar called Salty Senoritas. Beach volleyball, tailgating games, young crowd. It's in glendale.
