Warren and I spent the afternoon on Tuesday, March 1 at the Rangers/Mariners game at the Peoria Sports Complex. The Phoenix Valley is home to 15 Major League Baseball teams playing in 10 stadiums. Most stadiums are shared by two teams. They each have several practice fields, but share the stadium where they play their games. Surprise Stadium is home to the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals. The Peoria Sports Complex is very close to Perry & Darlene's office, and home to the Seattle Mariners and the San Diego Padres. We wanted to see the Rangers play on Tuesday, so went to watch them in Peoria. The stadium seats 11,000 fans and has 12 practice fields. There are options for seating. You can either buy tickets to sit in the seats, or bring a blanket and sit on the hill behind the outfield for just a few dollars.

Interesting. The 3 men in caps in the foreground are from Medicine Lake, MT. Warren noticed it on one of the caps and said hi to them. They had come down for some games. They were just a couple of rows ahead of us.
We enjoyed the game, even though the Mariners won. The Rangers had a comeback late in the game, but it was too late. It was the warmest day we had since the first couple of days in Phoenix. Perfect day to watch our first major league game.
