Spring Training in Tucson

Spring is in the air in Tucson! Temperatures are warm, the birds are singing and Spring Training has begun at Tucson Electric Park. About this time every year you'll see a lot of the Tucson work force playing hooky to take in an afternoon of sunshine and baseball.

The is the first weekend of the 2008 spring training season in Tucson. Teams including the Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks come to Tucson each spring to get in a few practice games before the start of the official baseball season in April. Spring Training starts the last week of February and continues through March, when Tucson weather is at its best. These games are really popular with Tucson residents and visitors alike; just a laid back atmosphere with lots of mountains, sunshine and ball park food. What more can you ask for? Don't forget the sun screen!
