Tucson hosts a multitude of exciting sports teams and events, including MLB spring training, Triple A Tucson Sidewinders, as well as University of Arizona Wildcats (both men's and women's) athletics.
Three Major League Baseball teams warm up in Tucson for summer's regular season:
Arizona Diamondbacks arizona.diamondbacks.mlb.com
Chicago White Sox chicago.whitesox.mlb.com
Colorado Rockies rockies.mlb.com
Each plays ball with other Cactus League Baseball teams nearly every day in March at two Tucson ballparks. From watching training camp battery workouts, to team calisthenics and drills to 30 days of actual Cactus League games - mid-February to April 1 is a great time to lather on the sun screen and spend a few hours basking in the Arizona afternoon sunshine. Or you can grab a sweater or light jacket and take in an evening game under the stars!
