Spring training is starting for the SF Giants soon. Pitchers and catchers will report<\/a> on February 12th and the first spring training game will be played February 21st. For people looking to visit Scottsdale to catch a game, there are plenty of nice spots<\/a> for Giants fans to go.<\/p>\n

I used to live in Arizona and went to my fair share of Giants games at Scottsdale Stadium. While I was a teenager at the time and was not all that tuned into Scottsdale’s nightlife scene, there are still spots I look back on fondly.<\/p>\n

Places in Scottsdale for SF Giants fans to go for spring training<\/p>\n

Scottsdale Stadium is right in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale which still has a little bit of the Wild West in it. There are museums, restaurants and plenty of nightlife to enjoy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Old Town Tavern is a classic spot to hit before or after the game. It’s a sports bar with live music throughout the week so you should find plenty of fellow Giants fans there.<\/p>\n

The Rusty Spur Saloon is another top bar in Scottsdale. It’s just a few minutes away from the park and is easy to get to and has more of a country music vibe if that’s your predilection.<\/p>\n

If you want more of a taste of the Wild Wild West, the “Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West” is a perfect place to familiarize yourself with the American West. There are tons of fascinating exhibits including one about Hollywood Westerns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One place I have especially fond memories of is the Sugar Bowl, the best place in Scottsdale for a sweet treat like an ice cream or a sundae which comes in handy on a hot Arizona afternoon even though thankfully the weather should be fairly tame in February and March.<\/p>\n

As for special events at the games, the Giants have three special event games<\/a> at Scottsdale Stadium for the first time. On March 1st the Giants will have a Dog Day where you can bring your furry friend to the ballpark. <\/p>\n

On March 3rd the team will have Arizona State University day where they have a special hat with the “SF” logo and Sun Devil colors. It’s perfect considering Barry Bonds went to ASU.<\/p>\n

Then on March 12th it’s Youth Baseball and Softball Day which will give young players a chance to ask questions to Giants players and coaches.<\/p>\n

Of course, the main attraction at Scottsdale Stadium this spring will be the product on the field and there are plenty of interesting young prospects<\/a> to keep an eye on in Cactus League play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spring training is starting for the SF Giants soon.
