SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS 7428 E. Osborn Road, Scottsdale 480.312.2586 scottsdaleaz.gov/stadium sfgiants.com

Description: The Giants are always among the hottest tickets in town. With its downtown location, Scottsdale Stadium is crammed with pre- and post-game activity options. Make sure to secure tickets before heading down to the game; scalpers typically get top dollar, especially on weekends. Parking: Public parking is available throughout downtown Scottsdale; or consider parking at a bar with shuttle service, such as Salty Senorita. Tickets: $12-$48, available at sfgiants.com Best place to sit: Spring the extra money for assigned seating in the lower section. Bleacher seating is brutal, especially during afternoon games – it’s squished and hot. Between bleacher and lawn, we’d choose lawn.
