Solid ballpark. Really enjoyed our spring training game in the sunshine. Shout out to the folks on the field who helped secure a baseball for a young fan. Made his day (and ours). And to the gal who took our group photo and had me sign her hat!

Stadium

Seats in Sun or Shade??
Very nice spring training facility and good updates over the years it has been opened. Same as other sports venue prices have skyrocketed over the last 5 years – 19 or 24 oz beer is $16.50 + tax 🤪. Lawn Tickets are $40; tickets with a seat are at least $65 with the fees….
Location — there is a “roof” overhang that goes from 1st base side 310 around to 309 on 3rdbase side that provides shade. It gives shade to almost all of the seats in sections 300 – 310 (all rows) but these are metal “bleacher” seats with a back; the seats are numbered and they give you a decent amount of room. Row 1 on the third base side won’t get shade until the second inning – Rows 2 through 10 will have it the whole game.
Sections 305 and 306 row 1, about seats 11-19, are obstructed by the railing (tall people can see over it but short people will have to look through the railing bars)

200 – 210 sections: Some of the upper rows in these sections on first base side will have shade as well as some of the upper rows on the third base side.
Enjoy the game!

I live about 0.4 miles from Scottsdale Stadium, and tonight’s concert (around 7:15 PM) was so loud and bass-heavy that my entire home vibrated. I could clearly hear and feel the music inside my house with the windows closed — not faint background sound, but deep subwoofer bass that physically shook the walls and furniture. It’s unacceptable for a city-funded venue to broadcast noise at that intensity into residential neighborhoods.

This isn’t the first time the stadium has hosted events, but it’s by far the loudest I’ve ever experienced in the 18 months I’ve lived here. The low frequencies traveled so far that it was impossible to relax or focus indoors, and the vibration didn’t let up. If this continues past 10 PM, it’s even worse — there’s no reason for residents to have to deal with concert-level sound pressure late at night.

It’s clear that proper sound control or low-frequency mitigation is not being enforced here. Other residents in the area deserve to know that this can and does happen — the noise travels for nearly half a mile and causes noticeable structural vibration. Peace and quiet in your own home should be a basic expectation, not something overridden by a city-approved event.

If you value your evening peace, be aware that when events are held at Scottsdale Stadium, you may not get it. This is a serious disturbance, and the City of Scottsdale should review and enforce stricter noise limits immediately.
