Dear Sahuaro District Residents,
Spring Training is here. The following excerpts are from a recent Glendale News release: Camelback Ranch-Glendale prepares to welcome "home" the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers for Spring Training. This year it will be easier to get into and out of Camelback Ranch, thanks to the opening of Ballpark Boulevard, a new 1.62 mile stretch of road that connects Camelback Ranch-Glendale directly to the Loop 101 and the Glendale Sports and Entertainment District at Westgate.
Westgate's shops and restaurants are ready to help celebrate our hometown teams. Throughout the season, fans are encouraged to show their same day ticket stub to take advantage of the many discounts offered at nearly 20 eateries at Westgate Entertainment District. For more information, visit http://www.westgateaz.com/baseball.
Saturday's opening game is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. The weather forecast suggests it may be raining so if you plan to attend, bring your umbrella and check with the box office in case the game is cancelled.
Have a nice weekend!
Ray Malnar
Vice Mayor
Sahuaro District
