SPRING TRAINING
Every year, the Cactus League descends on the Valley for Spring Training. Though nearly as old as baseball itself, Spring Training remains a novel adventure, boasting unparalleled player access, intimate ballparks, and the promise of a new season.
DATES & TIME // Thursday, February 22nd through Tuesday, March 26th. Purchase tickets…
WHERE // With the Valley welcoming 15 teams, Spring Training takes place across 10 fields and facilities, though Salt River Fields at Talking Stick is widely regarded as the go-to. In 2023, the Cactus League brought in 1.6 million fans across all ballparks, which is a 34% increase from 2022 and hasn’t been reached since before the pandemic. View the Cactus League Map…
HIGHLIGHTS // The Charro Lodge tickets are the best of the season. Ticket and table prices include admission to Scottsdale Stadium and the Charro Lodge, an outstanding view of the game from patio-style seating adjacent to the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen, a program for each attendee, and complimentary food and beverage.

INSIDER INFO // Scottsdale Charros, a Volume 2 Member of The Scout Guide Phoenix & Scottsdale, are an all-volunteer, nonprofit group of business and civic leaders dedicated to supporting youth sports, education, and charitable causes. Spring Training is the premier annual fundraising event for The Charros via the Charro Lodge ticket. Over the last five decades, the Scottsdale Charros and The Charro Foundation have donated millions of dollars back to the community through grants and donations to local nonprofits and schools in the Scottsdale Unified School District. P.S. “Charros” translates to gentleman riders in Spanish.
