Facilities & Attractions
San Francisco Giants Spring Training
Spring training is the time of year avid baseball fans look forward to with excitement and anticipation. These workouts and games are very different from anything that takes place during the regular season - it's very reminiscent of Baseball's early days, where players played for love of the game and fans lived and died by their favorite players' on-field exploits.

The Giants are a part of the Cactus League (also home to teams like the Oakland A's, the Chicago Cubs, the Seattle Mariners, the Kansas City Royals, and more). Their training facility is Scottsdale Stadium.
