Tips
Preferred Game Time
The A's offer both 1:05 pm or 7:05 pm starts. The crowd at a night game is as good as it gets in the Valley of the Sun. The place comes alive with the nearby Scottsdale crowd and the stadium has a great vibe on a Friday or Saturday night.
The Weird
Scottsdale women: The beauty of an evening game with Scottsdale women hanging around is pretty impressive, but a bit odd at a baseball game in the Spring. Not that we are complaining.
Macayo's Mexican Kitchen
No trip to Arizona for Spring Training is complete without enjoying the best tasting Mexican food around. Macayo's Mexican Kitchen is a Valley of the Sun tradition, serving delicious chimichangas, tacos and enchiladas in town since 1946. Before or after the A's game, fans can visit Macayo's Depot Cantina, just over the bridge in Downtown Tempe at 3 rd St. & Ash www.macayo.com
Bada BOOM! Pasta Room
Spring Training fans flock to Bada BOOM! because it's a nice mix of a classic Italian bistro with a casual neighborhood style. The Bada Boom Pasta Room boasts delicious Italian cuisine specializing in pasta and pizza as well as sandwiches, salads and appetizers all made with hand-selected ingredients. Bada Boom Pasta Room has an extensive wine list as well as wine by the glass featuring their own private label. The Sopranos style feel tempered with Scottsdale flair is shown by the décor of red mahogany floors, crushed red velvet walls, copper topped tables, rat-pack style photos and bistro-style seating outside. Bada Boom Pasta Room is a high quality dining experience without the price tag and the perfect destination for a good meal before or after the game. Bada BOOM! Pasta Room Ahwatukee 4855 E. Warner Rd.

Tanked Fish Sushi Bar
The new Tanked Fish Sushi Bar is the perfect place to get your feet wet with raw fish. For spring training fans looking for a unique place to eat before or after the game Tanked Fish is the perfect dining and entertainment destination. Tanked Fish offers contemporary sushi, sashimi, and rolls paired with a menu of Thai Fusion cuisine. Watch the sushi chefs prepare their specialties on flat video screens catching their every roll.
The extensive drink list include wines, sake, and specialized martinis, but no visit is complete to Tanked Fish without trying their “infamous” Barracuda Bowl or the Guppy Cup. Request your favorite music videos 7 nights a week to their video DJ and watch them play on over 30 Tvs that line the restaurant and bar. 4855 E. Warner Rd. Phoenix, AZ 85044 480-940-SAKE
