Good sized stadium shared by the Dodgers and White Socks for their Spring Training. Plenty of big restrooms and lots of options for drinks and food. No slushies or frozen drinks though. But they do have ice cream sandwiches, frozen yogurt pints and dipping dots. This is the Arizona stadium, and usually in the spring time it's in the 80's, but this weekend it got to a high of 104. Many people couldnt even sit in the seats that they paid for. A lot of us went to stand in any shade available by trees and signs. One guest actually over heated to the point of almost passing out and needed to get taken indoors on a stretcher. Normally it's not this hot, but unfortunately today it was scorching.
This facility is shared by the Dodgers and White Sox. There's not a lot of shade in the main seats, but lots of grassy areas, and shade if you don't mind standing at the top of the sitting area. Such a great place to watch a ball game! My one complaint is the cost of food and drinks. You can't bring in your own (minus a sealed bottle of water) but the prices are absolutely ridiculous for anything in the park.
I like that the ballpark does the Resident Pass for cheap tickets day of games. I took advantage of that and got lawn tickets for my family. I got my tickets electronically and had zero service while walking up to security. We walked off to the side to try to get the tickets to load with no luck. We later saw the Wi-Fi sign right before you get your tickets scanned....maybe putting that further out would be helpful as I wasn't the only one with that problem. We had a good view from the lawn part we sat in and the weather was great that day. It's really annoying they don't allow outside food or drink in the ballpark and then they charge insane prices for food. Food doesn't have to be that expensive.
Still. Not much has changed here since my last visit 9 years ago except the prices. White Sox lawn - $17 Dodgers lawn - $64 Beer - $19 Free parking Try the guava margarita at Tres Bonitos, which is $18, but has alcohol.
The hotdogs are not good. The dodger dog I had was inedible. Not even heated up. On a sunny day, see if you can get a shady spot. Pay more for shade. We were dying in row 7 on a 106 degree day. It was both more than I expected and less. It was fun to hang out with all the other dodger fans . We liked seeing the new robot umps for a few plays. Make sure you read the rules for what you can take in. No outside food, no aerosole skin protection, no non clear bags. Only unopened water, etc.
Brace yourself for the pain of parking, but other than that, the venue is BEAUTIFUL and well maintained! Not a fan of baseball, but the vibe plus great food and drinks options made the experience great!
My first spring training game here and it was really great overall. I love the lawn seats and it was perfect weather for the game. The food was outrageously priced, but it was really good. We enjoyed our seats in the lawn, and how easy it was to access everything. It's a very well maintained property and all of the stuff that we encountered were very kind and friendly. I will definitely return!
We bought the All-You-Can-Eat Porch Seats for about $98 per ticket, and honestly, I would've been happier grabbing food from a hardware store concession stand than eating here. The food selection was extremely limited, and the food handling raised serious concerns. At one point the jalapeños were being served with single-use plastic forks sitting in the tray, which didn't exactly inspire confidence in food safety. The bigger issue? The seating situation. After paying nearly $100 per seat, we found out there are only about 25 actual seats available, and it's first-come, first-served. Nothing like paying premium prices and then playing musical chairs. Yikes. You'd think with payrolls big enough to pay players like Kyle Tucker tens of millions a year, they could manage a halfway decent buffet and guaranteed seating for paying customers. Never again.
Attended the Dodgers' first week of spring training and it was a scorching day, probably not for AZ standards but definitely too warm for a mid February day. There are not too many seats that offer any type of shade and most of the lawn spots were all in direct mid-day sun. We did some walking around during and noticed some shade near the scoreboard but there were "security" employees constantly telling people that seating in certain areas was forbidden. People were just sitting, not climbing or jumping, just trying to get away from the hot sun for a bit. But I guess it's such an inconvenience to have people sit around for some reason. At one point we walked up to the field fence at the lawn area to get some pictures with the players in the back but another employee was on us the whole time. We were not touching or leaning (because we heard him yell at someone else for leaning on the fence) but he literally chose to stand about 3 inches away from us, so we couldn't get a good picture. He did not say anything to us so we figured we'd wait until he moved so we could get our picture, nope that didn't happen. Apparently after about 3 minutes of standing in our personal space, he decides we are "not allowed" to stand there at all. We told him we just wanted a picture and he proceeds to tell us that he's doing his job. We just walked away but he just ruined the experience for us.
The Dodgers and White Sox share this spring training facility and what a perfect ballpark it is. There are lots of grassy areas in the outfield for families to put down their blankets for a picnic. We got seats that were comfortably shaded from in the bright desert sun. The concessions included lots of interesting food choices. We got freshly grilled smash burgers, which were absolutely delicious. I am glad we got reserved parking, which turned out to be located very close to the entrance. Many of the big name and Japanese players were away playing in the World Baseball Classic but that meant the frenzied fans were absent and we got to enjoy a really fun game between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks.
While in Phoenix, AZ, one of my to-do things on my bucket list was to see the state-of-the-art Camelback Ranch in Glendale. Camelback Ranch is the baseball spring training complex for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox major league baseball teams. And as an avid fan of the Dodgers, I had to see the grounds where great players such as Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Clayton Kershaw, and many others who would be there shortly to start practicing before the regular season that starts on 3/27/25. However, I was just a few days too early before the spring practices started but still enjoyed driving around the huge grounds. Built in 2008 and 2009 at a cost of $121 million, the 141-acre complex opened on 3/1/2009, with the suburb of Glendale as its owner, and was the largest spring training stadium in the nation. It has 10,000 seats + 3,000 seats on the lawn with grass hillsides. Camelback Ranch gets its name from the name of the property it's built on and is located on Camelback Rd. and Ballpark Blvd. It replaced Holman Stadium in Vero Beach, FL as the Dodgers former spring training home and Tucson Electric Park in Tucson, AZ as the White Sox spring training home. Camelback Ranch has 13 full-size baseball fields and 3 half fields + landscaped grounds, walking trails, and citrus groves that include 5,000 plants and trees. The Dodgers and White Sox each has 2 major league baseball fields and 4 minor league fields + 1/2 infields and specialized areas for sliding and bunting drills. There are access tunnels for players to enter the stadium from their clubhouses. Construction requirements differed with each team, e.g., the White Sox elected to have their minor leaguers cohabitate with the big leaguers, whereas the Dodgers wanted a separate clubhouse for their minor league players. The areas for the 2 teams are separated by a 3-acre fish-filled pond. The stadium has 8 full suites, 4 mini suites, a suite-level party deck, a press box, merchandise store, and an outfield party area. It can host festivals, expos, day shows, and concerts. Its concession stand offers Dodger dogs, Chicago dogs, walking taco, pizza, house-smoked barbecue, mac & cheese, elote, rattlesnake sausages, and foot-long bratwurst and Italian sausage. Natural materials and finishes are highlighted with buildings having stone or brown finishes to simulate the desert skyline. People have noted that it's a beautiful facility with a fun and great ambiance in a park-like setting. Hours of operation are Mon to Fri 8:30a to 5p with extended hours during spring training. Lots of free parking is provided. The stadium is family friendly, as there is a designated area for strollers, and kids under 2 years of age are admitted free. I regret that our timing of our visit missed the spring training practices by a couple of days. Although the complex was closed, we spoke at length to a security guard sitting on a golf cart by a field entrance who described to us the setting that would take place in the next few days. He explained that the pitchers and catchers start their practices about a week before other position players. With the popularity of the baseball players from Japan, he noted how scores of Japanese media people and cameramen will be running after their players to get the latest scoop for their publications, and how the local paparazzi have been following every move of the Babe Ruth of this generation, Shohei Otani. Visitors and kids will swarm around players to get prized autographs. He also knew which players were present based on their cars parked in their assigned stalls. We were excited with what he told us, knowing how popular the Dodgers are, considering that they won the 2024 World Series and have many of the top players in the league. I was so excited to hear his stories! Just by driving around the perimeter of Camelback Ranch, I was impressed as to how huge the area was and with 13 full-size baseball fields, I could not imagine how anyone could walk around it. Now that I am home, I am watching the practices and the spring training games at Camelback Ranch and can picture the layout of everything. I only wish I were there at this moment and hope to return one day in the midst of spring training games. In the meantime, go Dodgers!
I really enjoyed my experience at Camelback Ranch. The weather was perfect and we had great seats. My food experience I have no complaints. The ride share for us was an easy experience knowing the game was sold out we knew the wait would be a little longer. I would definitely return to spring training game again.
Very nice ballpark. The stands and grounds were clean and groomed. The sound system was adequate for the venue and the bathrooms were plenty and clean. Like all ball parks the food and drink is way overpriced but that has become the norm at ballparks
We came here for the 2026 PHX Bubble Run! Very nice area! The grounds were well kept. The parking lot is massive! Beautiful water with tons of Canadian geese (my favorite) we even saw a couple babies with their mamas! Such a sweet sight! The layout of the place is super nice. Would definitely visit again! read more

Nice and well kept grounds. We watched Boomball here over the weekend and we enjoyed the grounds and our seats. There was plenty of concession stands open and security / police on site. Views were great. read more
I bought my husband tickets to the white Sox /cubs game for his birthday awhile ago. I missed the window when MLB opened the seats so ended up using StubHub. We were in section 118 in the first row so that was nice. If you're coming here when it has the potential to be hot, make sure you look at seat locations as we were in the direct sun the entire time- and it was 93 today. Whew. We had to keep taking 'shade' breaks near the concessions. The seats get super hot in the sun too so you want want to bring something to protect yourself They do have a nice variety of food and drinks options but wow are they PRICEY. A 20 oz beer was $15.59. A big can of beer was $17.99. A bottle of water was over $6. Wowza What a money grab. They were letting people bring in their own bottled water but it could NOT be frozen. Clear bags only as well and no snacks of your own Parking can be quite a trek. We arrived about an hour early and had to park in a grass field quite a walk away. Plenty of bathrooms and everything was clean. read more

We came to Camelback Ranch to Enjoy Spring Training for the LA Dodgers. Overall we had a good experience. The employees were kind and helpful, the facilities were nice. It was very crowded which I understand comes with being the Dodgers facility but there were some oversights. Before the gates to the stadium opened there was only one restroom. There was only one working stall and the women's line took me 45 minutes to get through. read more

Came here to watch the SF Giants vs Dodgers Spring training game on 3/12/24. My first experience coming here to watch games and had a great time. Unlike some of the reviews, parking was a breeze and didn't mind the short walk in anticipation of watching the boys in blue. The weather fully cooperated on this day, it was overcast for the most part. The stadium looked well kept and the grounds were well maintained. The restrooms were clean given that so many people come through this park. There are stands for food options offering pizza, burgers, nachos, chicken fingers, and what not. You can beer by the tap or grab a tall can. My view was perfect, right behind the home plate. Of course, the Dodgers won this day with Shohei hitting a homer along with Will Smith and Teoscar Hernandez. Can't wait to watch the regular season! read more
This is the dodger and White Sox park! The park design is beautiful with the rusted red iron on the structure! This provides a super modern look! The park has both seated section and an ample lawn area in the outfield! The great thing about this park is that you can walk around the whole stadium! As for food and drink: amenities are ok! Don't expect you will get gourmet food here: but there are standard ballpark options! They have Vienna beef hot dogs at this park! Good for Chicagoans! For drinks: they only have a weird seltzer for non beer drinkers... Ample parking here! Parking included! We snag a spot right by home gate! Great park! read more
The entrances and parking at this place are set up extremely strangely. You can't get to the further out parking lots without having to walk two blocks out of your way either from the center field entrance or the Homeplate entrance which is blocked off by a parking lot probably for players or others. The entrance to the parking is one narrow driveway, and the police were doing nothing to help people turning from the northbound lane or the southbound lanes to get into the lots. The seats have no cupholders if you are so inclined to have a beverage. It is nice, however that they have about five rows of seats under the grandstands so that if it's raining the way it was when we were there you don't get wet. The other strange thing is that they don't do any replays whatsoever on the big screen out in right field. It's a really far drive in the middle of nowhere in Glendale. read more

This is specifically for Tianyu Lights Festival located on the ranch through Jan 5 I believe. The festival was sooooooo beautiful. Much better than the PHX Zoo lights and intricately designed and executed. It really captured the spirit of the origins and festivities. The only downfall was that the cost was already "medium-high $$$" and then they tacked on $15 parking in the vast lot. When we provided a $20 bill the rude lot agent woman told us she wouldn't give us change and we'd have to pay on card "if we didn't want that." Umm... yeah no. She was not in the Xmas spirit- however- I highly recommend the festival!!! read more

Pretty decent place to see a game. Like most other stadiums, parking is free, and getting in and out is fairly easy. Nice-sized team stores, and a decent selection of concessions. Sight lines are nice, and it's a good place to relax and watch a game, especially at night. read more
What a great place to catch a game. Very relaxed environment and such a nice way to ease into the season. You can come early and watch some practice.... maybe even get an autograph or two. The weather is usually nice this time of year (February - March) and the food options are vast - from sausage with onions and peppers to stir fried noodles and beer. Overall it's a great time! read more

Great stadium to watch a game. Always fun to be in a newish stadium. Seems like a good array of food although I had none. Prices are high to support this new stadium and also for Covid. I hope next time I return Covid will be in the rear view and we can watch baseball like it was meant to be.....IN A CROWD! read more

Let's get one thing straight, I am not a Dodger fan, but I love Camelback Ranch. Out of all of the Spring Training fields, this one is top notch. From parking, to food, service, cleanliness, everything is great! I always plan our Spring Training weekends to include games at Camelback. read more
