(cross post from the West forum for Arizona/Phoenix - trying to decide whether to do Florida or Arizona)

Has anyone ever been out for Spring Training? I'm looking to come out and spend a week in the area and try to catch a few games (and some NHL hockey as well) and just spend some time away from the cold in Toronto. Just looking for a bit of tips/hints on what to expect. Are there access to the complexes during non-game times where I could potentially watch (and take pictures) of the players during their workouts?
