Wanne Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1108tempe080.html Damn...I was really hoping the Sox would move up here at some point...I HATE driving down to friggin Tucson! Maybe they could be lured to a new stadium in Goodyear though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 How is the stadium in Tucson? I always try to catch them in Peoria Sports Complex. But unfortunately not always possible. I need to see more games this Spring Training. Saw them last year in Tempe. Was a pretty good stadium. I was supposed to make the drive to Tucson last year on March 28th but had tire problems.

Guest JimH Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Once again, Jim H was wrong. Somehow I knew you'd be around with this little piece of news, please. Don't be shocked if something ultimately happens. Both Cleveland and Baltimore aren't thrilled with their situations in Florida. The money earmarked for the Goodyear stadium complex ($10M) may be used for other projects, or they may ultimately build a spring training complex out there. Either way, it doesn't bother me they'll still be in Tucson, we like it there. note to quickman: What's the matter with you, I'm serious.

I need to see more games this Spring Training. Saw them last year in Tempe. Was a pretty good stadium. I was supposed to make the drive to Tucson last year on March 28th but had tire problems. Peoria is where I always go to...seeing how I live about 5 minutes away...plus, our league plays out there during the summer and fall. There's honestly not a bad stadium out here...the new Surprise stadium is kinda goofy lookin...not to mention a complete cluster f*** if you go down Bell Road to get to it on game day (take it from the south and drive up...driving an extra 10 miles saves you 45 minutes if you can believe that). It's not that Tucson Electric is a bad park or anything...I just don't really like going to Tucson unless I have to. It's be nice if the Sox did end up in the metro Phoenix area at some point. Hell....why not Glendale...they're building everything else out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Thanks Heads22. I have been around for a while but never registered. I enjoy reading the posts more than actually posting myself. Welcome aboard Tree. The stadium is really nice. The only thing that sucks in my book is that its in the Tuscon area instead of the greater Phoenix area. I was really hoping they would move down to Tempe because thats where my dad and I stay every year when we go out to Spring Training. Location aside, they got a tremendous facility and attachd to it is a very nice complex for the minor league players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My colleges baseball stadium is nicer, imo. And I'm not much of a fan of Oaklands digs, although they did renovate it. The Giants park in Scottsdale is pretty sweet. Wasn't their a rumor a while back that siad the Sox could also look to moving their somehow? I still think JR wants to move the team into the Phoenix area.

I still think JR wants to move the team into the Phoenix area. Yes, that rumor was floating around. Reinsdorf would like to get them in the Phoenix area but they need a team to take over the lease in Tucson. Plus, MLB wants an even number of teams in the Cactus League so it'd take two teams moving to Arizona, with one moving into Tucson. I can't see any of the teams currently in Phoenix moving to Tucson. So it looks like the Sox will be in Tucson for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
