Scottsdale Stadium
Scottsdale Stadium was originally built in 1965 and is located at 7408 E. Osborn Road in the heart of Downtown Scottsdale. Scottsdale Stadium is the home of the San Francisco Giants and games attract large crowds of fans. It has been called “the gem of the Cactus League ball parks” for its awesome location right in the middle of historic and scenic downtown Scottsdale and a short walk to a wide selection of restaurants, clubs and art galleries. Parking for Scottsdale Stadium is limited, but the City of Scottsdale Trolley has a stop at the stadium, so you can park pretty much anywhere along the route and hitch a free ride to and from the game. Be sure to get to the game early to hang out behind the first-base line near the Giants dugout to meet the players.
Schedule: San Francisco Giants
Salt River Fields
Salt River Fields opened in 2011 and is located at 7555 N. Pima Road in Scottsdale.
