Thanks for the heads up on Arizona Republic, I will definitely keep my eye out on that.
I have no doubts I plan to attend games, and since I'm there for the week I'll attend the weekday games and try to avoid the major clubs.
How is access to the training complexes? I was checking out some sites and the D'backs play their games out of the Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, and it appears there are outer diamonds which are used for training. Will I be able to get access to those fields to just roam?
