If you like getting autographs, try Fitch Park. The minor league guys were more than accomodating.

 

Take plenty of sun screen. Very few of the seats at HoHoKam are in the shade.

 

I'd really go with the hotel package. While you may pay a little more, the ease of having your tickets purchased in advance and waiting for you at the hotel is really nice. Also, the seats we received were great!

i've never tried the hotel package/tickets thing you're talking about...sounds like a decent deal. we stay at the same hotel every year...it's a manageable distance from all the parks. i always get tickets online as soon as they go on sale...the games at hohokam are always the hardest to get.

fitch is great...you can watch up to four games at once and see tons of minor leaguers. like vance said, most of them are very accommodating for autograph requests and nosy fans with questions. :D it's also fun just to watch them do drills, take BP, interact with each other, etc.

sorry to say it, but hohokam is by far the worst park in the cactus league. the food's bad, the crowds are huge and the parking sucks. all the other parks are pretty good.

there are a bunch of good restaurants in the area that cater to the baseball fans.

if anyone has any specific questions, pm me.
