10 Best Stadiums in Phoenix

Sloan Park is a modest Mesa ballpark and the spring training home of the Chicago Cubs. A game-day visit combines baseball with concessions, food trucks, beverage stations, merchandise shopping and shaded seating. The venue also offers practical transportation choices: paid parking is available, and free shuttles run from two locations. Cubs fans can shop at the team store near the Right Field Gate, where purchases are cashless and require a credit or debit card. Beyond the games, the park works for company outings, group trips and visitors who want a spring-training baseball experience in the East Valley.

State Farm Stadium is built for major sporting events and live entertainment, hosting NFL Cardinals games and other attractions in a 63,000-plus-seat arena. Its retractable roof gives the venue flexibility for football, concerts and family-oriented events.

Visitors can expect extensive food and drink choices, multiple parking lots and restrooms distributed throughout the facility. It suits adults, children and groups attending games, concerts or events, though leaving the parking area can take time after especially busy performances.

Mountain America Stadium is an expansive soccer arena on Arizona State University’s campus, with raised stands and seat-back bleachers. It also hosts Sun Devils games and provides a game-day concourse with food shops, restaurants, draft beer stands, team merchandise and numerous bathrooms.

The venue includes elevators and golf-cart transportation for guests who need help reaching seating areas. Visitors planning around mobility needs may find north-side parking useful for elevator access. Bleacher rows can be tight, and outdoor games in Tempe can be very hot.

Peoria Sports Complex is a baseball venue built around spring training for two major teams, while also hosting local leagues and events. It suits families and baseball fans who want more than a game, with opportunities to experience practices and back-field activity close to the action.

The complex offers an intimate spring-training atmosphere and a large video screen, but shade is limited in the seating areas. Visitors should plan for direct sun and may find food, drinks and souvenirs costly inside, although surrounding dining options provide alternatives.

Hohokam Stadium is a Mesa baseball venue and longtime spring-training facility for the Oakland A’s that also hosts fall games and events. Its compact layout offers close views, accessible seating throughout the park, upper-level sightlines, and lawn seating in the outfield.

Families can arrive early for batting practice, while the mostly covered turf area and broad lawn give groups flexible places to sit. The stadium also works for autograph seekers and fans wanting an intimate game setting rather than a large arena experience. Visitors planning concessions should budget separately, as food and beverages can be costly.

Tempe Diablo Stadium is the spring-training home of the Los Angeles Angels and a 9,500-seat venue within the Arizona Cactus League. The stadium offers assigned and lawn seating for baseball fans, with the surrounding complex also positioned to host other events. Its location near Interstate 10 and Highway 60 places it about a 10-minute drive from Sky Harbor International Airport. Families and baseball visitors can plan for games, player interactions and autograph opportunities, while the city’s official site provides ticket information and the 2026 spring-training schedule. The venue’s Angels agreement extends through at least 2035.
