Arizona Spring Training Baseball Locations and TeamsArizona Spring Training Sites Give Baseball Fans Plenty of Options
The big news for Arizona spring training in 2011 was the addition of a new ballpark to the Cactus League's Phoenix area baseball spring training locations. On July 23, 2009 the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies announced that would leave Tucson to share a new spring training stadium east of Phoenix on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. This is the first spring training site built on an Indian nation. The joint move of the Rockies and Diamondbacks means that all Cactus League baseball spring training locations are now in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Below is a guide to all of the Arizona spring training baseball sites and the teams that play at each, listed alphabetically by ballpark name. Greater Phoenix Baseball Spring Training Locations
