People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. -- Rogers Hornsby

Address 2500 E. Ajo Way, Tucson.
Directions Tucson Electric Park is south of downtown Tucson, a stone's throw away from I-10. If you're coming from the north, take the Ajo Way exit (which is also marked as the Kino Parkway exit) and head east, following the signs.

The regular-season home of the Tucson Sidewinders (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League) and the site of many Arizona Fall League games, Tucson Electric Park is the spring-training home of both the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Chicago White Sox. The stadium is definitely set up more to accommodate the spring-training crowds than the smaller crowds attending Sidewinders games.

Still, Tucson Electric Park is a gem of a ballpark, an example of a modern minor-league park done right. After parking in the adjoining parking lot, you enter TEP at ground level and look down to the action from a concourse level. The main grandstand area features theater-style seats, while there's two levels of bleachers down each line.

The outfield area is noteworthy in that there's not a single bleacher seat; instead, the designers wisely put in grassy areas on both sides of a concession area in dead-center field. It's a great area for families to throw down a blanket -- the kids can run around and play catch, while the adults get a great view of the action. The bullpens are in front of the center-field concession stand, and you can look down at them from the outfield grass. A concourse rings the entire playing field, so you can wander throughout the stadium through the course of a game.

If you go, spring for a grandstand seat or sit out in the outfield grass. Don't mess with the metal grandstands unless you must. There are club seats on the second level of the grandstand, but these are quite a ways from the action and are not recommended.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have trained in Tucson since the team's inception.
