whitesoxin' Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 If you have been there, what would you recomend doing, besides watching the Sox. I am leaving on Friday and I'm going to about 3 or 4 games. Also, are there any player hot spots and how would you say is the best way to get autographs? Thanks for the advice.

Chisoxfn Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 If you want Autographs, stand near home plate where the players walk in or go by the dugout. Before they open the gates, go to the far left of the park and wait at the fence for players. Thats what I used to do when I'd get autographs and I used to get a ton. Most importantly know the players names and be courteous. Didn't spend anytime in Tuscon (outside of the game) so don't really know the hot spots. I spent all my time down in the Phoenix/Tempe area.

SoxAce Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Most importantly know the players names and be courteous. Some idiot fan.. "Hi Mr. Aaron Rowand. I am your biggest fan!!" "But I'm Mark Buehrle." Fan.."Oh s*** can I get your autograph then.?" Mark..".....No" *Mark walks away* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we're staying in Scottsdale 3 nights and Tuscon 2 so it will be a little of both. What do you think are the best parks to go to in the Phoenix area? Besides Ho-ho kam cause I wont be goin there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox facility is one of my favorites, they got grills all over the place and great grub. The Giants facility is also real nice and the Brewers and Rangers/Royals have awesome facilities, but they aren't necessarily exciting to watch. I do like Angel stadium a lot. Its a few years older then some of the stadiums, but still very nice and plenty of grills going as well. Oakland was just renovated but is still kind of lousy. The Padres and Mariners share a pretty sweet facility out in Peoria, but thats a bit of a drive. When your in Scottsdale you'll find that there are a done of things to do. Restaurants everywhere, lots of beautiful girls, giant ass malls, and whatever else you can do. If someone is over 21...then I'm sure there are plenty of bars and stuff, but I'm still a month away from that Be prepared to have a HELL OF A LOT OF FUN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 lots of beautiful girls Yea! That's about all I'm concerned with doing other than watching some baseball. I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Yea! That's about all I'm concerned with doing other than watching some baseball. I can't wait! Recommendations from a guy who was just there (me!): Tucson: right next to the entrance gate of Univ. of Arizona (Tucson), go to Gentle Ben's brewpub and a great bar called the Frog and Firkin. Both are great. Then, at night, go on 4th Avenue, it's right near the two bars listed above. Go to O'Malley's, Maloney's, and The Shanty. They are all right next to one another. If you're looking for GREAT looking women, this is where you want to be. Scottsdale: Easy choices. Off of 5th Avenue, right downtown Scottsdale, there is an area of clubs/bars/nighclubs, etc. Some of the most gorgeous women I've ever seen. Anyone at your hotel can tell you how to get there. Personal recommendation: Thursday night Ladies Night at Axis/Radius, you can type it into a search engine and check out their web site. We were there last Thursday and it was no cover before 9:00 and $1 Red Bull and Vodka until 10:30. We also went to a place called Suede directly across the street from Axis/Radius. Wait until you see the servers, wow. There's also a place around the corner called Myst, another fantastic place. On Saturday nite we went to a place a block or so away called Martini Ranch, they have everything ... 3 levels, dancing, an 80's cover band, etc. Then, when Scottsdale has last call at 1 a.m. (yes, everything is over at 1 a.m.), go right across the street from Martini Ranch to a place called Mickey's Hangover, everyone goes there and sobers up. Great music, lots of places to sit, food if you want it ... a very cool place to unwind or chat it up. For nightlife, Scottsdale is A+ !!!!

Pale Hose Jon Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Haven't been there this year but in the past i have found it fun to check out the airplane museum in tucson. It is first rate if you enjoy museums like that. Scottsdale is fun, but since i'm to young i can't tell you about the night life. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
