Springtime in Scottsdale is everyone’s favorite time of the year as it brings Spring Training!
Girl About Town has the perfect list of restaurants and bars you need to check out as we head into baseball season. GAT took Monday off to experience firsthand how much fun Spring Training is and believe us, this is something you at least need to experience once every season. The team started at Zipps off Hayden and Via De Ventura and enjoyed Zipparittas, nachos, and their ever-famous focaccias before heading to the game to watch the Rockies play the Rangers. After making the jumbotron a few times the girls all approved that a day at the ballpark is a perfect way to spend an afternoon!
Here are a few of our top stadiums you should check out and all are GAT-approved!
North Scottsdale at Salt River Fields cheering on the AZ Diamondbacks or the Colorado Rockies, here are a few MUST stops before or after the game!
