You can't beat Spring Training games here! The SRF is just a great venue, the layout, the lawn and all the food and beer options. All the staff are so friendly and ready to answer any questions you may have. I like that if you order tickets on line it's not another 20.00 in fees like some other places. You can beat 9 bucks for lawn seats, plenty of vendors, so you don't really have to get up to find the basics...beer, snow cones, popcorn etc. They also have sunscreen stations around the field...so all the snowbirds not prepared for our intense heat.....SRF has you covered! The bathrooms are clean and always stocked-huge thing for girls, plenty of options for drinks, lemonade, microbrews on draft, domestic on draft as well as in cans and margarita's at Salty Senorita! They also serve wine! Food....the BBQ was hit this year....so glad they changed it from Mexican food to BBQ. The BBQ crew at that concession are all awesome! They are very friendly and I love if you tip....they all scream out and clap/cheer A TIPPER - WhooHoo! The food at this concession which is just north of the main entrance is fabulous. Beats the same old hot dog. read more

Really, really love this ballpark. It's big, modern and great looking, with awesome seats, a great lawn area and a jumbo screen that rivals many pro ball parks. This could easily be a AA-AAA baseball stadium. The thing that sets this place apart is the food options. There are a ton of places that you can get a beer, but there are some really unique food options, including a hot dog place that has crazy combinations. I tried a sausage with chorizo, cheese sauce, jalapenos and tortilla strips. It was pretty awesome and very unique. The seats by home plate and the infield are sweet. Great angle, great views. The best part about this park, however, is the guy who sells chocolate chip cookies. Anyone that's ever been to this park should know him. He walks all around the stadium screaming (literally) at the top of his lungs (literally) CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can hear him from a mile away (probably literally), and always sells out. He seems to be a crowd favorite for good reason. He's a gem. Another cool touch is the banks of dispensers with SPF 30 sunscreen all around the park. They're everywhere, and free, which is great for anyone who forgets to pack the banana boat. I can't wait for next March...Only 11 more months. read more

I was hoping the handicapped issue would have improved this year but alas it is obviously not a priority. It was a fiasco. They wave us to the handicapped lot. But there were none left. Then they say you can park anywhere in that lot but that defeats the purpose. It is too much walking for my dad. So we go to the next lot over and the security gal says it is the players lot. Really? Why do the players need handicapped spaces in their lot? Hmmm??? So my dad slowly makes his way to the entrance of the stadium and there is his chariot- a terrifc Ex- NYC cop with a wheelchair. He was wonderful. Thank you Joseph- you made his night! Then after the game Joseph came back and got him. He saved the night. Now, will we keep going back- probably not. It's too much of a hassle and no one knows anything. No radio people around outside the venue. (see review from last year just below) Inside the stadium there are a lot of people around to help. Not outside though. read more

GREAT venue, plenty of space to roam. Park at the Pavillons & walk ten minutes to the ballpark...saves $5. Go Go D-Backs !! BTW, the Public Address announcer, Bob Williams is OUTSTANDING...clear, concise speaking voice, knowledgeable, a real Pro. read more

The Good: 1. One of, if not the most aesthetically great looking ballparks in the country with beautiful mountain views. 2. Excellent food options such as Asian, Mexican, and your typical "ballpark" fare. I highly recommend the Crust Pizza a local pizzeria who have a stand here. 3. Tons of parking and shuttle service to and from old town Scottsdale. 4. Intimate feel 5. Casino nearby for post game entertainment. 6. There are NO bad seats in the house. 7. It is quite literally the Disneyland of baseball with easy access to practice fields and players. 8. Free sun tan lotion. 9. The facility has 3 party decks. (Pepsi Patio, Coors and Miller decks) 10. Local favorite and former D-Back Luis Gonzalez is usually here and hangs out with the fans. 11. Has more intimacy than Chase Field, the D-Backs regular season home. The Bad: 1. Lack of vegetarian foods. 2. Feels like a regular season stadium with regards to the size of the building and the prices. 3. It can be a long walk from the parking lots to the stadium unless you manage to park very close. 4. Unlike other spring training parks outside food is NOT allowed. read more

Awesome field, great parking, good food choices great micro brews, good seats, not too crowded. Definitly catch some games here.

Oh My Gosh! This place is Plush! Well... for a minor league ball park that is. Of course, this place is also like brand new and is the home of the D-backs spring training center which is the local major league team. It was my first time at Spring Training so I didn't have high expectations for the stadiums but this place sets the bar high for any other ball park (minor league or major league). All seating is real seats... no bench seating. The rows are pretty decently spaced so that you are not eating your legs if you are tall. (I'm short so this is rarely a problem but my husband is tall and he was good.) The back of each seat also has a cup holder so that you don't have to put your drink on the ground and risk having it kicked over. The outfield grass seating is nice and has a gentle slope so that you can bring a blanket and hang out. Lots of concession stands everywhere on different levels. They even have sunscreen stations.... So if you forget to apply sunscreen... or you want to re-apply..... just walk up and get some. At first I thought it was the hand sanitizer stations but then I looked more closely and it was sunscreen. Every ball park / stadium should have these stations. Such a great idea and great offering. I told the husband if he feels the need to do this again... that this stadium is the only one I want to go to. read more

This is an absolutely fantastic new ballpark. Does anything else need to be said? Yes. First, parking when I came was an astonishingly cheap $5. I parked in the front lot that fed the Main Gate, and it was all dirt and grass. The attendants seemed a little confused about where to direct cars, but on the converse side, the ones we dealt with were some of the most easygoing lot attendants of any of the Spring Training parks we went to, which made it a lot easier. I hate parking lot attendants on a power trip. From the outside and walking up, you can tell it's a beautiful facility. When you walk into the park, you enter onto the main concourse - similar to Chase Field. The field level is below you. Concourses are huge. They've been designed wide and very open. The game I was at was a D'backs-Rockies game but it was sold out, and walking around the facility, you would never have guessed. D'backs Team Store is behind the third base foul pole, Rox behind the first base foul pole. They were surprisingly small and cramped. Not that I was planning on buying anything, but still. The food selection was better than average. They had that signature Spring Training go-to - Wok Fried Soba, as well as Ice Cream, frozen Lemonade, Daiquiri stand, all the ballpark fare like Dogs and Burgers. The major disappointment was no bratwursts. If they were there, I could not find them. Had to settle for a Chicago Dog, and Relish and Tomato salsa does not a Chicago Dog make. Also, boiled dogs are just kind of nasty. Sorry Talking Stick. That's a fail. However, the Shea Burger I got there was on the better end of good. Meat was a little well done, but lettuce, tomato, pepperjack cheese, and a slightly toasted bun. I could go for one of those again. Seating in the grandstands is great. Good views everywhere and I think that they're a bit wider than usual. I know I was not as snug as I've been in other parks. Only real problem is when you sit in the inner grandstand area, you can only see the main scoreboard. And the game info is kinda small, if you're curious about the score or the count. Still, it's comfortable, it's spacious, the food is above average, and (maybe this is my Bay Area economics showing through) quite inexpensive. And even with my Giants having that gorgeous ballpark in downtown Scottsdale, Salt River Fields has taken over the top spot in my heart as the best Spring Training ballpark. It's absolutely fantastic, and even if your team isn't playing, it's still worth coming here just to enjoy a baseball game. read more

Went here earlier this spring and WOW - What a way to watch spring training I LOVE the Giants stadium, and this is much better. It has twice as much lawn seating, the seats are wide and comfortable AND - aimed towards home plate, which didn't used to seem like a big deal but sitting in Scottsdale down the line, IT IS. The food there is top notch, with an amazing pizza slice Plus, the ability to walk around to diff fields and watch other players work out is amazing - it sucks that the Giants keep fields separate, I think every team should do such a joint complex. read more

Seats, amenities, concessions, parking... Experienced two fantastic spring training games here this year. Paid $31 for seats in section 215 and 211. 211 was in the shade the whole time and 215 got shade about an hour in (around 2pm). Chairs are big, cup holders at every seat, and if you can limit yourself to a basic hot dog, the prices aren't that bad for concessions. There is no outside food or drink except 2 sealed water bottles a person. Wish they had a policy that you could bring in food (popcorn, peanuts) from previous day's games, but I realize that's asking a lot. Also wish they had a store that carried general spring training merchandise or rotated stock for visiting teams. Parking was a breeze both days. Got there 45 minutes before game time and left in 8th inning and had very limited traffic coming in (maybe 3 minutes) and none going out. $5 for gravel and $10 for grass that's a tad closer. read more

First time at this new Stadium. I have been looking forward to it since they announced it. Watching it be built helped with the anticipation and it surely didn't disappoint. It is a great Stadium, lots of room, very Fan Friendly. Concessions were actually cheaper than at other Spring Training Stadiums, I was pleasantly surprised by that. They also have a great variety of concessions throughout the stadium. Bullpens are right there so fans can watch pitchers warming up. Players are available before & after games to sign autographs & talk with Fans. Two down sides I experienced was the lack of enthusiasm & consistency from the Stadium announcer. They need to work on that. Seemed like he forgot he was there to work the crowd. Also the traffic into the stadium was not good. I'm sure it's because it's new and they need to figure out the traffic patterns, but almost every car coming in stopped to ask questions which held up getting in. The traffic out was easy and flowed very well. Look forward to going back to many games and other events as this great facility.. read more

I was really excited to be visiting the new stadium, but as we got off the freeway excitement turned into frustration. It took us about 45 minutes to park, with police on the street directing you to entrance to use. At one point we were not moving for a good 10 minutes. The people running the parking lot did not seem like they had any idea of what was going on. Many of them were standing in the way why you were trying to drive to the parking spot they were directing you too, and there were more than enough people standing in a single lot. I feel that at this time, a few weeks in to spring training, this should have been able to figure it out by now. The stadium itself was amazing. We ended up sitting at the lawn but it was still a great view. There was shade everywhere you look, they did a great job with the design of the stadium. Great choices for food, lots of variety. I had the garlic knots and they were so yummy. After the game we took a walk around the facility. There is a D-backs side and a Rockies side. Each with their own walk ways with the history of the teams but I was got to see the D-backs walkway. I was very impressed with the stadium but the parking situation left much to be desired. read more

Salt River Fields at Talking Stick - Catching a ball game together for the first time since we played ball together. A great reunion with a damn good player. - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Had the pleasure of attending a spring training game and I was impressed with the overall experience. Parking was organized in an outstanding fashion. Staff all over was very nice and helpful. Seating at the lawn was great and there was plenty of cold beverages being sold all around. Do bring water and sunscreen as well as a blanket to sit on. Really recommend this as a day activity. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it a ton. read more

The facility itself is beautiful and well designed. Views of the mountains are plentiful. We had a very pleasant afternoon, until we received a lecture from a young vendor about dehydration. He then offered to sell us twenty ounces of water for $4.00. When i complained he told me: It's cheaper than a hospital bill. Are you !#$&@ kidding me? Now I am trying not to rant here, but you and I can purchase a case of water almost anywhere for $3.99! That's retail. Personally I say shame on them! read more

My sons and I have been coming to spring training for 15 plus years and been to every park. We love Tempe Diablo, but this is the best park in the Cactus League. One of the security guards even gave us his opinion of the fans. He said Cub fans are annoying and Dodger fans are criminals. You can't argue logic. Great access to the players, especially on the Diamondbacks side. The Rockies side is good, but they need to follow the DBacks lead. My top 4 Cactus league parks are Salt River, Tempe, Camelback and Peoria. The bottom 4 are Sloan Park, Goodyear, Hohokam and Scottsdale. read more

I really like this venue! It's so fun to buy lawn seats for the spring training games. I always eat before the game because the food is pretty pricey. We also like to park in the Target parking lot to save on the $5 parking! Good times! read more

First class facility. Beautiful location. I bought sunglasses at a kiosk. The young man had trouble with the cc machine and had to rerun the card. He was sure that only one charge went through. Within the week I had two charges. I called SRF and soon I had my money back. Great Park great customer service. Steven Hagar read more

Balloon Spooktacular !!!!!: At $15 a head for adults and $10 for kids this event is a little pricey but as it turned out, it was worth it. My three-year-old had a great time. We spent hours watching her play on the jumping castles and inflatable slides. The event also had some inflatable mazes and obstacle courses that she was a little young for but she loved them and insisted on repeat visits. My daughter had so much fun with the extensive play setup that she wasn't even interested in the candy being passed out (everyone had lots of good quality candy we just didn't get very much) lol. Plenty of fair food and food truck options. (Funnel cakes YUM, giant corndogs YUM, BBQ YUM). The stage entertainment was good and the master of ceremonies did a great job with the event activities. The haunted trail was a nice touch and it was customizable for my little one. OK the balloons...my daughter was amazed by the balloons. The balloons were just that little extra thing that made this event really great and memorable. read more

I attended the True Music Festival here and it was a great venue. Lots of space, not too crowded and good amenities.

Salt River Fields at Talking Stick - First ones at the ballpark. Hope it doesn't rain on us. - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This Spring Training ballpark offers FREE sunscreen! We sat on the lawn. The food selection is about the same as all the other stadiums: noodles, burgers, chicken, pizza, ice cream, nachos, etc. This one had a slightly different beer selection though. The park seemed pretty happening compared to the other 2 we went to, but maybe that's because this was a Saturday game not a weekday game. Unlike some of the other stadiums, you are able to walk through the batting cages and some of the practice fields. Wider variety of vendors walking around in the crowd, selling things like fruit kebabs, sangria, and hats, not just beer and peanuts. The casino/hotel is VERY close to this stadium and there's also a mall and movie theater right next door. read more

As always, we had an awesome family/baseball experience this past Saturday! The facility is always clean, energetic, and ready for a great time. Go DBacks! read more

Recently was invited to a private party in the Coors (or Bud) Light section. Great location, seats, covered area. Bar beer selections good. Catered food was not. Really bad. Dry pulled pork (no sauce) , mystery-meat brisket, greasy sausage combo, cold & rubbery mac-and-cheese. Runny cold slaw with greasy, thin chips. Glutinous pecan pie. Wonder bread rolls for the pulled pork. Went downstairs & ate out of sight of my lovely hosts. Still had a great time watching a spring training ballgame with a beer, friends & a warm sunny day! read more

Great park....one of the best spring training facilities. The park is even better than some major league parks Ive been too. One of the coolest things they do there is give you free sunscreen from from a dispenser How cool is that. There is a nice grass area for families in the bleacher area. The food is also much better than most parks..especially the pizza stand. They also have some cool bar areas where the servers are easy on the eyes. Also go get a Sangria guys..trust me...you won't be disappointed. All in all this was a great place to visit and has become a must visit ball park when I attend Spring training. Also they have a shuttle that takes you from the Casino to the ball park for free....Good times read more

Great park. parking is kind of frustrating, better off parking at one of the shops on Indian Bend & walking rather than waiting in the line to park for the stadium for $5. Good food choices & options! read more

Beautiful stadium. Great baseball game. Worst baseball experience of my life. $200 worth of grass seating. Arrived 30 minutes early and no space to sit our group. Asked three different employees for help and suggestions, none were able to do anything but tell me that is the way it is. Skip this stadium, see the Rockies on their away games. read more

This is easily one of the nicest spring-training stadiums in the cactus league. Fantastic seats and a spacious lawn section as well. Free SPF 30 sunscreen in the lawn section in outfield. Great place to catch an afternoon game at 1 o'clock or an evening game at 7 PM. Nine dollar tickets in the grass are the cheapest seats and just go sit anywhere you want in the stadium. read more

This stadium is clean and the personnel are friendly. There are plenty of areas to watch the game being out of the hot Arizona sun. The concession staff are helpful but a bigger variety of stadium food would be nice! Love the sunscreen SPF 30 stations throughout the stadium. The only negative from today's experience was - I paid more to sit on row one aisle seat in section 103 because I wanted to be close to the action. But most importantly I didn't want people in front of me, except there were a bunch of fans congregating next to me and squeezed in front of me to get autographs. That definitely was not enjoyable! read more

I love the Talkin' stick, one of my favorites in the Cactus League. Seats and sight-lines are great throughout, ticket prices are reasonable, they can handle big crowds both in the stadium and outside, staff are very nice and accomodating and there are restaurant and shopping options nearby in the shopping center for before and after game entertainment. Several things to try here; Sangria - best ballpark sangria in all of the Cactus League. Chocolate covered strawberries and bananas on a stick, if its a hot sunny day you better eat it quickly. Salty Seniority has a patio in the 'stick. read more

Love it!! I took my son to see the fields and maybe catch practice. While we were too late for practice, the guards were very cool and let us take a look anyway. We had a great time seeing the field and checking out the facilities, and will be back soon to see a game read more

We sat behind home plate on a gorgeous day. I suspect that even if the seats had been small and hard (they weren't-they were spacious and normal) and the ballpark had been old and crummy, (it isn't--it's new and GORGEOUS) that the beauty of the weather would have made this a 4 star review anyhow. The powers that be created a lovely ballpark with some great food choices and two full sized souvenir and apparel shops. I highly recommend you visit. Loses a star for crummy handicapped parking. read more

Been here three times now and love everything about his stadium! Clean, neat, friendly! Always a wide variety of seats available. Sometimes the sections are difficult to see but everyone is friendly when you ask for help. Parking is unfortunately not free (or we didn't know where the free parking was) but inexpensive, very organized and close to the stadium! On the outskirts of town which I liked! Highly suggest checking out a game at this stadium! read more
