Spring Training?

[Rob]

Does anybody know when the spring training schedule will be announced and when tickets will go on sale? I'm trying to make some plans for my spring break.

[SweetZombieJesus]

I think it's sometime in January but I could be wrong. I don't think my folks have recieved their stuff for ST season ticket renewal.

I did some searching for the other teams' ST schedules. Some of them are out, so I was able to piece together a partial list.

 

February 25 vs. Dodgers

March 3 vs. A’s

March 4 @ Indians

March 6 vs. Dodgers

March 17 @ Dodgers

March 18 vs. Giants

March 23 @ A’s

March 26 @ Giants

March 29 vs. Indians

April 1 @ A’s

April 2 vs. Indians

April 3 @ Yankees (Yankee Stadium exhibition)

April 4 @ Yankees (Yankee Stadium exhibition)

 

Looks as if a few of the teams will have their ST tickets go on sale around mid-January.

My son turns 17 on Feb. 17th. I'd love to take him down there for a gift. Hope they get the sked out soon.

I've been to ST the last 3 years, and in my experience, it is not difficult to get tickets to the games you want, especially if you pay attention to the "on sale" dates. Publication of the schedule also may be a little later this year, as I'm not sure that the White Sox have gotten the official release out of their lease in Tucson (allowing play in Goodyear at the new complex with the Dodgers)

 

Between the team sites and this one:

http://www.springtrainingonline.com/, you can stay up-to-date pretty well. Keep in mind when you buy tickets, that, as good as the AZ sun sounds right now, you may want seats with a little shade to protect your winter white IL skin from the elements. We have the first edition of the book from Spring Training online too, and it was worth it to keep track of things like where's good to sit, eat, park, etc for each field.

 

We've been to several of the stadiums in AZ, so if you have questions, feel free to ask!

Here's another good site, devoted specifically to Cubs Spring Training. It's operated by Tim Sheridan, Spring Training PA announcer at HoHoKam.

ah, can't wait for spring training...this will be my 8th (?) year.

[rynefan]

Yeah, can't wait. I would like to start making plans. School spring break will work out good with it this year.

[Dallas Green]

ah, can't wait for spring training...this will be my 8th (?) year.

 

Yeah, been going since 04. Fun. Ever go to Don and Charlie's while there?
