Take me out to the ballgame, indeed. This stunning stadium is on a short list of nationally acclaimed state-of-the-art spring training facilities. There’s hardly a bad seat in the entire ballpark, including those on the grass (although there’s little in the way of shade—desert visitors, beware!). Located in Peoria, right around the corner from Arrowhead Town Centre Shopping Mall, the complex consists of a main baseball stadium and a dozen regulation-sized practice fields. One of five facilities to host the Arizona Fall League games, Peoria Sports Complex is also the spring training home of the Cactus League’s Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres. For people who care more about suds than sports, the stadium has a decent selection of craft beers, and munchies—frozen yogurt, flat bread, funnel cakes, kettle corn, gyros, and pizza—abound at various food stands.

The Peoria Sports Complex is like a megaplex for baseball. Over here, you can watch Ichiro and the Seattle Mariners getting primed for the upcoming season. Over there, Khalil Greene and his Padres compadres are taking infield. And in most any direction, Padre and Mariner hopefuls are practicing some baseball fundamental on some gorgeous field under some beautiful springtime sky. What sets the Peoria Sports Complex apart, too, is parking and access to food. Yes, it's much like a shopping... More »
Not every Valley municipal project is a boondoggle.In its eight years in existence, the sprawling Peoria Sports Complex has become the northwest Valley's magnet for an incredible array of events. One weekend, you can see the Goo Goo Dolls, the next you can watch Japan's best professional baseball players duking it out on the Complex's numerous state-of-the-art baseball diamonds.
