Diamondbacks Tix
Are Diamondbacks tix easy to get on the day of a game? I am coming from Seattle and want to see a game during my stay. Scalpers trying to get of tix perhaps?
Is parking an expensive drag at the stadium? Is the food good? Are the third deck seats OK? (No way am I spending the $78 for the prime seats)
Also - any tips on nature things to do around? I am already planning on driving up to the Grand Canyon.
Thanks!
Any other advice about going to a game?

I think it will depend who they're playing, but I think you should be able to get some tickets. They even sell some dollar tickets the day of the game, for a narrow strip of seats going up into the ionosphere. I'd suggest finding their website and see how to buy better tickets in advance. It's a fun ballpark, no matter where you sit.
Nature stuff? Put an AZ map on the wall and throw a dart at it--you'll land on something amazing every time. My best advice is to go to the library and go through two or three years of Arizona Highways magazine and pick out what looks cool.
Not to miss: the Sedona area, riding the chairlift up to the top of Mt Humphrey's in Flagstaff, the desert in between Phoenix and Tucson (best viewed from the old road, rt 87); Monument Valley, also known as the Navajo Tribal Park. Then, any of the National Parks or monuments such as Organ Pipe, Saguaro, Chiricahua, Montezuma's Well, Sunset Crater, and privately owned Great Meteor Crater (seen in the movie "Starman").
Really, you could spend a month or two here and not see everything. If I may be of help with details of any of the above, drop me a note.
Edited to add: Parking is ususally $5 - $10, depending how close. City busses run to & from the park, and cost $1.25. Food is all over the map, everything from ballpark franks to Little Caesars Pizza to TGIFridays. I suggest going a couple of blocks down Jackson St before the game & eating at Alice's Cooperstown--owned jointly by valley residents Alice Cooper & Randy Johnson, it's a cross between a sports pub and a hard rock cafe, with reasonable prices and good food & service.
