Tips

Phoenix to Tucson
Most cactus league fans stay in the greater Phoenix area, but if you want to travel to Tucson to see the White Sox, be prepared for an 1 ½ to 2 hour drive from Phoenix to Tucson. You should budget an entire day for these teams, but it is well worth the trip!

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 an Arizona tradition, serving delicious chimichangas, tacos and enchiladas in town since 1946. Before or after the game, fans can visit either of our Tucson locations at Broadway & Kolb, and Oracle & Ina.

Spring Myths
The weather is always sunny and 85. In Tucson, it can get chilly, especially at night. Another myth is, you don't see the players. Tucson isn't that big of a town, and odds are pretty good you'll see a player from the White Sox, Diamondbacks or Rockies if you go out to eat.

Best Places to Eat and Best Sports Bars
Don't be fooled by the name. Daisy Mae's Steakhouse doesn't sound like much, and it doesn't look like much, either. But it is a great place, even though it's a bit off the beaten path. Pinnacle Peak is another good one, especially if you want to step back into the Old West.
Most of them are around the University of Arizona. McMahon's probably is the best. There are a bunch of Famous Sam's around, and most are pretty good.

I-10 Speed
Watch your speed on I-10, which runs between Tucson and Phoenix. And don't call animal control if you see an oversized pig running around. They are called javelinas, and you are not allowed to shoot them. Just ask Mark Buehrle.
