Spring Training at Surprise Stadium in AZ- Any tips?

[go_deacs14]

Hey guys. I will soon be going to watch Spring Training at Surprise Stadium in Arizona. Has anyone ever graphed in this stadium? Any tips? I will be seeing the Giants, Rangers, Cubs and Royals play. Another question I had is whether Rawlings OLB's are good to get autographed. I will have a few ROMLB's, but they are so expensive...

if you want to clean up on prospect autos, ive heard that the minor league facilities across the street from most spring training facilities are far less crowded and far easier to graph and its free to get in. Apparently pitchers and position players from the big league squads will do workouts there on days they have off.

Good luck either way!

HIT THE BREWERS!!! I used to live in Glendale, and that stadium was BY FAR the easiest to get around. The players (other than Prince) would walk right by you and you could get everyone to sign! I even got Prince to sign a bat there 3 yrs ago but I got in good with one of the security who said "this guy has been here everyday for a week and would like you to sign" I still cherish that bat and it will never be on ebay!!!


Good luck

Thats pretty cool. I'm not sure if I can make it to Glendale, but I would love to get Fielder's autograph.

51st and Indian School. I dont know where you are staying but that park is awesome! From Bell Rd. and the 101 should be a 15 min drive with traffic on the surface streets.

Not the best part of town, but it was closest to my house on 83rd and Camelback. (Right near the Cardinals stadium)

Also, if you walk all the way to the back of the lot there is a wash there. I bet you could find 10-20 batting practice balls to get signed if you look around. I used them for autos of lower players if I was in a pinch.


Good Luck

Hey guys, one more question about Spring Training. If practice starts at 9, what would be the best time to get to the fields for autographs? Thanks
