What is Feng Shui?

Utilize natural light when possible. By opening your curtains or shades during the day, ambient light adds the fire element. If your home has few or no windows, consider adding a salt lamp, candles or even an electric fireplace. When possible, full-spectrum light bulbs are preferred. Fireplaces and wood stoves also help draw the fire aspect into the space. Fire can enhance love, leadership and boldness qualities in those who live in your home.

Place a few decorative items. Certain items such as stone statues, decorative rocks, or even old books can add elements of earth that can improve strength and stability. Colors such as tans, yellows or browns can also be incorporated.

Something shiny. Placing gold, silver or steelcolored items adds metal elements in your space. Gold or silver picture frames, pictures with white in them, hanging jewelry or a metal pendant, etc. can add focus and order to your space.

Add some blue. By adding in blue decorations such as a blue vase or a painting with blue hues, you can add in water energy which can balance emotion and create inspiration. A small water feature such as a fountain is another option.

Whether you’re a seasoned Spring Training attendee, or don’t know what a fly ball is, these insider tips will help you to make the most of your Spring Training experience:

Buy your tickets online While you can buy tickets at the stadium, you’ll spend less time waiting in line if you purchase them ahead of time (they might be cheaper as well!). General seating tickets are sold through each team’s website on MLB.com.

VIP Tickets to Scottsdale Stadium can be purchased through the Scottsdale Charros and VIP tickets to Salt River Fields can be purchased through the stadium.

Park and ride While there is public parking near Scottsdale Stadium, it fills up fast. Consider parking at a nearby lot or garage in Old Town Scottsdale and hopping on the free Old Town trolley, which extends its route to Scottsdale Stadium starting 90 minutes before and ending 30 minutes after each game. Parking for Salt River Fields is available on site. Rideshare services are available and prevalent at both stadiums if you choose not to drive.

Every year, a ritual known as Spring Training makes its way to the Valley of the Sun, bringing with it 15 teams who play more than 200 games at 10 stadiums in the span of 30 days and attract nearly 2 million attendees. It’s a can’t-miss experience for friends, families and baseball enthusiasts looking to soak up the warm Arizona sun.

Catch the San Francisco Giants at Scottsdale Stadium or the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies at Salt River Fields. All Cactus League teams rotate through these stadiums during Spring Training, so you won’t miss out on cheering for your favorite team!

Scottsdale Stadium is located in Old Town and recently underwent major upgrades including a new clubhouse, a 10,000 square-foot event center, an expansion of the Charro Lodge VIP seating area, new bleacher seating and a new main entry.

Salt River Fields is the only major league baseball facility to be built on Native American land and you’ll find nods to the local heritage throughout the stadium. It’s also a short drive from Talking Stick Resort & Casino, and there is a free shuttle between the two. Because two teams play at this facility, there is a game occurring here every day of the Spring Training season.
