Colorado Rockies

WHERE THEY PLAY: Salt River Fields, 7555 N. Pima Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85258 SEATING CAPACITY: 11,000 STADIUM WEBSITE: saltriverfields.com SPRING TRAINING INFORMATION: rockies.com/spring ABOUT THE STADIUM: Salt River Fields, which is home to both the Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks, features many great experiences for spring training fans. The concession stands serve out-of-this-world treats, including a quarter-pound hot dog wrapped in bacon. The roof of the facility is unique, in that it mimics the traditional Native American ramada. There are sweeping views of the surrounding desert and a lovely lawn for fans to sit and relax on. Don’t forget, there are many other spots around the facility that are open for fans to stand in and enjoy the game from. TASTY TREATS: Streets of New York Pizza and Salty Senorita Taco Bar both have stands here. INTERESTING FACT: Salt River Fields is the first LEED Gold-certified sports venue of its kind in the United States. It was designed so that people in the seats will not have the sun in their face, and many seats will be in the shade most of the game. ROCKIES’ 2020 SEASON: In the 60-game regular season, the Rockies finished 26-34, good for fourth place in the NL West. LAST WORLD SERIES HISTORY: The Rockies have appeared in one World Series, losing to the Boston Red Sox in 2007. PLAYERS TO WATCH: Charlie Blackmon, OF; Kyle Freeland, LHP; German Marquez, RHP; Antonio Senzatela, RHP; Trevor Story, SS MANAGER: Bud Black TEAM MASCOT: Dinger AFTER THE GAME: Head over to America’s largest indoor butterfly pavilion, Butterfly Wonderland, 9500 E. Vía de Ventura in Scottsdale, for a one-of-a-kind experience that will captivate both children and adults alike.
