Spring Training Online

If You Go ...

Phoenix has become the major center of spring training in the United States. Besides the White Sox, 11 teams train in the Valley of the Sun: Chicago Cubs (Mesa), Seattle Mariners (Peoria), San Diego Padres (Peoria), Milwaukee Brewers (Maryvale), Oakland A's (Phoenix), Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (Tempe), Los Angeles Dodgers (Glendale), Cleveland Indians (Goodyear), Cincinnati Reds (Goodyear), San Francisco Giants (Scottsdale), Texas Rangers (Surprise), and Kansas City Royals (Surprise). Colorado and Arizona train in Tucson.

Where to Stay: There are no hotels within walking distance of the ballpark, so be prepared to stay a ways away. In addition, a car rental will be necessary for a visit.

Flying In: Phoenix Sky Harbor is the closest airport. Every major airline flies into Phoenix -- including Alaska, American, America West, Continental, Delta, Northwest, Southwest, and United.

You may also want to consider flying into Tucson and then driving to Phoenix if the fare to Tucson is significantly cheaper. The drive is 117 miles and takes a couple of hours on I-10, but it's a pretty drive if you like the desert scenery.
