Hmmm the San Francisco Giants are part of the spring training Cactus Leagues. Now I’ve got some thinking to do. Earlier I’d been thinking of going to see another team play during spring training but now that I know that the San Francisco Giants are part of the same training league I might change my plans and watch a few of their games instead.

See, we’ve been planning a trip for the new year. We might get together with my brother and Tricia’s brother- they are both huge baseball fans, so what better way to get together for a vacation than to go to Arizona and watch some of the spring training games? I think it’s a fantastic idea.

Ah ha! I’ve just discovered that they are actually playing against the Chicago cubs in Hohokam Park, Mesa Arizona on March 1st. We can see both of the teams that we’re interested in watching play against each other if we plan our trip for early March. This is fantastic. I must see about getting the Giants Spring Training tickets soon. I’ve already planned to try to get tickets in section 116 Row A because those seats are in the first row just past third base. Otherwise we’ll try for seats in section 115, row A as those are in the first row as well, just past first base on the Cubs side. Either would be great considering we’re going with both Cubs and Giants fans.

I must go and make plans!

We’re starting to plan our family holiday for this coming spring, and we’re thinking of doing something different this year, like going to Arizona to see the Chicago Cubs play in the Cactus Leagues as part of their spring training. We’ve never been to Arizona so it would be a bonus to go there. The Grand Canyon would have to be on the list of sites to see.

The Spring Training games are taking place in Mesa, Pheonix, Scottsdale, Tucson, Tempe In March so we’d just have to figure out when we want to go in order to figure out which Spring Training tickets to the Cubs we’d want to purchase.

I think we’d probably go near the beginning of March and if we do most of the games are in Mesa around that time period. They’re being held in Hohokam Park. The best seats are right behind home plate in section 100 row L, but the seats in section 115 row A that are just past first base on the Chicago Cubs side look pretty good too. I guess we’ll have to decide which we want and see what’s available and we should probably do that soon before all the best seats are sold out. Decisions decisions. Nah we’re going to have a great time. I’m even going to see if I can get my brother to get some time off work and come with us. He lives in Chicago and he’s a Cubs fan so I’m sure he’d love to join us.
