College of Idiots: Cactus League Spring Training Guide - COI Style

Cactus League Spring Training Guide - COI Style

Posted by Angry Mike Thursday at Thursday, January 14, 2010

I have decided to share a little of my knowledge on how to properly experience the Spring Training locations in the East Valley of Phoenix. It's pretty much up to be to provide this information considering the other Idiots can barely manage to prepare for a tailgate that I bring 90% of the equipment to.

For those of you unfamiliar with the area, that covers Hohokam Park in Mesa (Cubs), Phoenix Municipal Stadium in Phoenix (A's), Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale (Giants), and Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe (Angels).

The following will be covered with each entry:

Where to be pre-game
Stadium experience
Where to be post-game
Angry's favorite nearby restaurants

If you have never been to the Phoenix area, or Spring Training specifically, you will likely find this guide full of useful information if you are looking for an all-around great experience. If you are well versed in the offering of the area you might want to read the entries too, as I am planning on sharing some interesting stories.

Expect the first location this weekend. It will either be Tempe Diablo or Phoenix Muni. I'm torn as I have been to a handful of games at Diablo but none at Phoenix Muni. If you happen to be an A's fan don't worry. I know the area surrounding Phoenix Muni pretty well and what I will lack in stadium experience I will make up in the other categories.
