I was there for a soccer tournament and it tended three different days. The complex is huge so you really have to have a good idea where your team is playing. There's a couple adjoining complexes that some of the games on Sunday were played at they were different but once you understood where they're at you could go to the right parking area, remember it and get to the right field. Most field areas had a fairly good food and drink if that's what you wanted but it's advisable as always to go to the soccer tournaments to carry her own chairs if you want them. The fields themselves were really well kept, the central bathrooms were fine but the porta potties are porta potties so be realistic with your expectations. All in all a good experience for the tournament. read more

Review based on a kids soccer tournament. Pros: The fields are beautiful! Well maintained and organized, and the reason I gave any stars. Cons: No outside food allowed. They have a couple of concessions there, but they are not healthy options, and not enough vendors (the lines were very long). You couldn't even bring in coffee. There was 1 guy with a coffee cart who ran out halfway through the day. Security searched bags and took away food/drinks, like this was an NFL stadium. Too much enforcement for a bunch of families watching their kids play soccer. If you're there all day, plan to eat in your car, or leave for lunch (good luck finding parking when you get back). There is ONE restroom, with 3 stalls and of course one of them is out of order. Overall it's a nice facility if you're going for one game. If you're there all day for a tournament, it sucks. read more

They say you can bring a small cooler. Then you get there and they say no only clear bags. My cooler was smaller then the ladies purse sitting next to me. So I guess it depends on who you get in the security line. Food was awful. read more

Not sure how this place gets anything over 2 stars. This review is based on the baseball fields. The fields are great. And that's where it ends. The snack bar is terrible. No condiments for burgers or hotdogs. One stand services all fields. So be prepared to wait. Want to bring your own food in - NOPE. Be ready to eat an overpriced dry burger or hotdog. And they search your bag. The list of rules on the outside of the park is longer then the line from home plate to first. What could be a beautiful day at the ballpark is ruined. Wish we could play at the local highschool fields and support them. Not a fan Kino. read more

Nearly all the staff were completely rude and unprofessional. One of the staff said, "It's just a bunch of fat people playing sports." The bartender apparently has space issues, and told a security guard nearby to go stand somewhere else. When one security guard tried to sit down for a minute the staff said they couldn't sit and needed to stand for the whole shift. Another security got belittled and scolded for not checking bags twice, as if once wasn't enough. The staff here are rude to each other, rude to other coworkers, rude to customers, and rude to the players. Nice a place as it might be for sports, I don't know why anyone would want to use it with people like that staffing the place. read more

How could one go wrong with free food free games prizes kettle corn ice cream cotton candy now that's the way a company should throw party for its employees appreciation. What I truly enjoyed was that I was able to bring my family members along with me. The kids had a blast running around the field and then having people face painters as well as jumping castles and bungee jumping for the children and adults to you can't leave us out. Although I've only been to the Kino sports complex one other time for baseball game it's a nice little facility. I do plan on returning. read more

What a beautiful ball park. We went there in early March to watch the Rockies play the Diamondbacks. This was to be the last spring training before the D-backs moved to Phoenix. A poor idea in my opinion as Phoenix has many other attractions, I thought Tucson was the perfect spot for the D-backs but I digress. Well, it would have been a perfect trip if I had not followed by bf's lead and walked across the seats (I'm a bit clutzy) and I fell breaking my foot (of course I didn't know it at the time). So, one would think I would have drank during the game since it started out like above^^. I had some soda and a hot dog because afterall it is a ball game. Seats were great right behind the dugout. I enjoyed the game. The D-Backs weren't doing well they ended up losing 1-11 in favor of the Rockies but the whole experience was completely worth it. I could have done without what was to become three months in a walking cast but c'est la vie. read more

I used to spend the warm Tucson days at this park.... catching a ball game and getting my tan on. A small stadium in comparison to most in other cities but all the classic staples... overpriced yet yummy food, beer, souvenirs, etc... The place itself is clean and well kept. Never really was a fan of the teams that called this stadium home over the years but still a great way to spend the afternoon. read more

My first MLS soccer experience was this past weekend at the Desert Diamond Cup. This stadium is used by the Tucson Padres baseball team and the FC Tucscon soccer team. The stadium size was great - I don't think there was a bad seat in the building. I ordered tickets online and was able to print out tickets (although the font did create some confusion on the actual seating). The crowd was great and made for a good atmosphere for the game. There were plenty of concession stands, fun things for the kids, and parking was easy to get in (challenging to get out). it was a chilly night in Tucson and unfortunately there were not many options to warm up aside from coffee. I would have liked to see hot chocolate or something for the kids. I enjoyed the stadium and being close to the action. I would definitely come back here to watch a game. read more

This was the worst experience I have ever had at this park. One start given was for the fields they are immaculate and very well maintained. Bleachers where closed no popup shade was allowed in the park. Pods where designed for spectators to watch the game in the bright sun with no shading of any kind. An email was sent out saying that the snack bar would be open and when we arrived to the park it was closed by the employee's. Once you where in the park you and then decided leave you could not come back inside. read more

The pickleball courts were totally empty on Saturday afternoon. Only one court being used. They said we needed reservations. We asked to make a reservation there now and they said no. You had to call a number. We told them we tried and no one answered. They said the reservation is not open weekends we'd have to wait until Monday's and we can't make reservations the same day so the soonest we could play is Tuesday. Again totally empty except one court and they said no. Really Tucson?!?! We are tourist from Oregon. Not very welcoming. read more

The security at the entrance to the baseball fields are always so rude. They make parents and players empty all bags to search for gatorades or any outside drinks that they will not allow in so that you buy theirs for $5.00 a piece. There are no sunflower seeds or outside food allowed. Takes away from the feel of baseball just so their snack bar makes profit. read more

It's spring training, it should have the feel of spring training. But nope, not here. The stadium isn't huge, you aren't going to get lost or take over an inning to get to and from the bathroom. But you aren't going to have any leg room. You are going to burn the heck out of your butt on the hot seats. You are going to pay over $6 for a beer and $5 for parking. There is a laundry list of things you can NOT bring into the stadium. You will not feel part of the game. But if you want to go to a game and there isn't one a Hi Corbett, than head way on down to TEP. read more

Well i always buy multiple tickets for multiple days at the Mexican Baseball Fiesta and this year was no different. I came on saturday and my seats were dirty with spider webs, but no big deal. I wanted to switch seats for the next day game and asked if i could go to my car, grab my tickets and ask the ticket window if this could be done. Security advised there was no re entry so i went to guest services and again no re-entry. I feel as this place has no customer service no one willing to extend a helping hand. Im very disappointed and wont be coming back next year. read more

My son played in a college baseball tournament a few weeks ago at the Kino Sports Complex and I was quite impressed with the facility. The park was previously the home for the Chicago White Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks spring training camps so one would assume it to be a quality complex and it lives up to major league standards for sure. The park is located about 4 miles from Tucson International Airport and is near all the airport hotels. Interstate 10 runs behind the stadium which makes commuting to and from the park from other areas of the valley fast and easy. Dining choices near the park are limited to In-n-Out Burger (which is fine by me) but there are plenty of good restaurants within a 2 mile radius. The complex does have a snack bar serving typical ballpark fare; hot dogs, burgers, brats, peanuts, sodas, etc. The fields have been kept near the same standards as a major league facility would require. The city of Tucson keeps the grounds clean and the other public areas such as restrooms and picnic tables tidy and in good repair. Paved parking is at a premium for larger events, but there is plenty of overflow parking in the desert next to the fields. read more

It's almost a shame that the D'backs will be leaving TEP. It's a nice facility, nicer than Hi Corbett and if the D'backs have their way, then they along with the Rockies will move on to greener pastures far north towards Phoenix. There are great sight lines throughout the park. I like that you can walk all around the ballpark once inside the gates. Parking is $5. Seats on the upper level of the stadium are good, but there is only one concession stand upstairs, so your best bet is to go for the variety that is offered on the lower concourse. read more

This is a pretty good place for a smaller baseball field. Positive: they have many nights where they have things going on (thirsty Thursday, Saturday fireworks, etc), they have pretty good seating, the team isn't half bad, the people working there are nice and funny, the bathrooms are pretty clean, cheap to get it Negative: they are over priced on some things (like most baseball stadiums) and because it is a smaller baseball field with a not pro team I would expect things to be a bit cheaper but it is what it is. read more

Attended KFMA day 2019 here and was disappointed. The venue itself was fine, but the staff and security were lacking. After attending festivals at other venues, it was blatantly obvious that many people were over served and there were drunken, hot mess people everywhere. We observed several altercations where security did little to intervene. Won't be returning for any future events here. read more

Attended Tucson Invitational Baseball Tournament- Nice facility, However the ladies working at the gate were not very friendly all week. Rest of the staff was helpful and the cart driver was great! Be very aware that your $30 pass is only good for 7 days and we were scheduled for 8 days so had pay again on the last day. Not very accommodating after buying passes for the whole family when the tournament does the schedule. They may want to think about a tournament pass rather than a weekly pass. Also be know that when you buy a souvenir cup to get discounted drinks, they do not sell fountain drinks at the stadium so no discount for you there! read more

Not sure how it works or is for an actual sporting event, but it was a great location for Hopefest.

The whole complex is actually really cool. I've heard that our FC Tucson soccer team has some of the nicest facilities in their league. From a fan standpoint, parking is good. There are a good number of spots super close to each venue. But the satellite parking options are also really good. I've been to events from Baltimore to San Francisco and parking is always the biggest headache at big sporting events (especially since we don't have the same mass transit infrastructure of major metro areas). Most recently, I've been to the soccer games here. The fields are incredibly nice and the stands get it done. Lines at concession are long and slow-moving (my only reason for not giving it 5 stars). For some reason, they're never able to staff appropriately and don't be surprised if they run out of basics like water (even though this is Tucson in the summer). The bathrooms are clean and well maintained but not air conditioned - actually there's no air in there at all so it's stifling and definitely not a place to hang out. Get in. Get out. Simple. Bring the kids and have fun! Oh, and they just instituted a new bag policy so only clear plastic bags are now allowed!! read more

As good as it gets in Tucson. The place is a little old, not well maintained and all the paints is chipping. read more

Great place, well where I sat was GREAT! Try the Owner's suite! We had free beer and drinks and all you can hot dogs and hamburgers! And a great groups of Ladies from JL aka Junior league. I must admit I didn't even watch the game so I don't know who won or anything like that, but I had a good time at the complex! The bathrooms were clean and neat, and the staff they were REALLY wonderful! They even got my friend a veggie burger! read more

I had a great time here! I was watching the Mexican leagues go at it and I dont usually watch sports. It was nice to be accompanied by my favorite people. The food was REALLY great (i dont know if it was just a special event) They didnt have the gross hot dogs on stale buns but rather delicious mouthwatering SONORAN HOTDOGS and Verduros, corn on the cob, eegee's even found nopalitos! beautiful chilly day outside, got to roll around in the grass. bathrooms were super clean and tidy. beer was overpriced, duh. kettle corn was yummy! read more

I remember when they built this stadium, the whole complex for that matter. It's right off the I-10 and there's plenty of FREE parking. In late-January to February it houses one of Tucson's larger public Gem & Minerals shows. read more

Whenever I attend games at this ballpark, I feel a little bit sad that it used to host Major League Spring Training games, and now it is barely hanging onto the Tucson Padres. The ballpark is really nice, with a beautiful field and a great layout. I especially like the lawn seating in the outfield. Food is OK, and not as overpriced as other reviewers will have you believe. Beer is where they make the big money. The only real negative about Kino Sports Complex is the location. I know it was built on the Southside in an attempt to revitalize the area, but that really hasn't happened. Other than the ballpark, there is absolutely no reason for me to come to this part of town. A few restaurants or bars would be a welcome addition. read more

Another beautiful park! Surprise Stadium has a little one-up on this one, but otherwise I can't complain about anything except the butt-burn you get from sitting on those super hot dark-green seats! Whew, paint those babies another color please! :) They do get you for parking ($5) but they have reasonable & clear policies for bringing in water & food. Fun! read more

I've been here twice, both for MLS games...and will never return. The first game I attended (last year), they ran out of all food at the limited concessions within the first 15 minutes...nothing left. I told myself that would be the last time I ever attend any event in Tucson, as Phoenix has far better facilities & events...and they don't run out of f-in food!! So tonight I stupidly gave Tucson the benefit of the doubt thinking that they just might be able to pull it off and bought tickets for the Seattle/Portland game. Well, the stadium was so oversold that there were hundreds of people searching for seats deep into the first half. So many people that folks seated in the first two rows couldn't see the game. So after searching for seats, we gave up and left. After a discussion with the employees at the ticket office, we were offered free tickets for the next game, which I turned down, because I will not stupidly return to any event held here. No wonder Tucson loses sports teams & industry left and right. read more
