Hohokam Stadium

Infield seats WAY too far away from the field! I understand they wanted a similar dimension as
. But no need to do so on infield.

Very impressed with the new Spring Home of the Oakland A’s. Very nice looking ballpark. The only negative is that there is only 2 exits heading to the concession stands behind homeplate.

They did a very nice job with the remodel for the A’s. Traffic and parking can be a challenge.

Definitely my favorite of the three ballparks I visited on my Spring Training trip. Full disclosure: I’m a die-​hard A’s fan so I may be a little biased, but I really like all the renovations they did to this place. I’m from the Bay Area and I felt like I was at home at this stadium. Food selection was great and they had some great beer options as well. If you like craft beers, I would definitely recommend checking out the canned craft beer stands in corner left and right field. New scoreboard is awesome!

A really nice stadium, seems every seat is a great seat, good food selections for a ballpark and prices not bad. Parking was only $ 5. Traveled here to enjoy our As at spring training vs Angels, good game and As won. We will definitely be back. The drawback was the fan store attendant was very rude, he did not appear to have any customer service etiquette. I don’t think the As corporation would want someone like that representing there brand when customers are paying a lot of money for fan merchandise.

Great Stadium for a ball game! looks great, friendly staff and great beer make this stadium a great place to spend time enjoying America’s pass time!!!

This past Saturday was my first A’s spring training game! 3÷21÷15
Parked in the grass lot– $ 5 can’t go wrong. Walked right in to our section — 101 — right behind home plate. (Thanks, sis!)
Anyway, we were sitting in the sun– of course it was hot– duh. BUT, by the 5^th, we were in the shade and all was well. Lots of sunscreen used that day!
A’s vs Reds– A’s won. it was a good day! ;-)
Had the chicken srtips. WHY? Why –o– why did I have the strips. they were good, but should have had the Flatbread Taco (fashioned after indian fry bread) Regrets…
Anyway, also met Rollie Fingers! Saw John Odom and Campy too! Yay.
People were nice. Ushers were cool. The lady in our section was really nice– took pictures of us, and gave us some restaurant suggestions for later that night!
Would I go again, HELL YA!
Let’s go Oakland, clap, clap, clapclapclap! :-D
OMG– how could I forget??? They have airconditioning blowing down on you while you wait in line at the food vendors!!!

First time I’ve visited Hohokam Stadium and heard they recently renovated it for the A’s Spring Training. We had friends from Cali in town and went to see the Giant’s and A’s play. The facility was very clean but I wish there were more food vendors to choose from like they have at the Giant’s Scottsdale Stadium. Other than that it was fun and clean!

Never saw the stadium before the renovation, but this Cactus League stadium looks nice and more importantly does not feature Scottsdale prices either.
PARKING — Keep driving past the stadium and the homeowners trying to get you to park on the lawns. They have a residential area three blocks away and plenty of spots were available for free.
BEER: The have cans of beer for $ 6. I found it way in the corner of the outfield near the pretzel truck.
FOOD– Ike’s is the probably the best choice, but $ 4 kettle corn was good also.
CROWD– lots of families on the grass and not as much a party atmosphere as other places, but not the senior citizen festival either.
I liked this stadium slightly over Scottsdale, but Salt River still rules so far as the Spring tour winds down. Some lawn seats are tough to see game, but on a weekday seating was plentiful in the outfield.

First trip to Spring training, really enjoyed our time at the renovated Stadium. The sun was blazing, the beer was flowing, and we loved watching our A’s beat the Giants
Lots of fun, on the next visit we’ll get tickets in the stands to soak up the shade

I had lawn seats for today’s game. It was hot but pleasant. They have a food vendor near the lawn seats and one half of the ordering stations were closed so you could stand in front and have the air conditioning blow down on you. There were shaded sections you could be in if you needed a break from the sun. The park was very clean and had friendly staff. Two thumbs up!

Eight dollar hot dog, cold. Nine dollar italian, dry and gross. Piss poor crowd management. Couldn’t– care-​less staff. They get one star for a great game and weather of the gods.
One more thing… no 50 – 50 split?

I’m not an A’s fan, but when the cubs and the Dbacks were sold out we headed to Hohokam Park. I have to say the stadium is pretty nice, it’s different than other spring training facilities since it actually has indoor corridors. The field itself is beautiful. The best part is the park faces East, and it has shade structure, so the 200 levels get shade all throughout the game and the lower levels get shade a little later in the game (1pm games).

Home of the Oakland Athletics. Ticket booth opened at 10am and the gates at 11am. Parking is $ 5. Sat in section 213, first base side, and was in the shade the entire game. Great seats. If you come early you can get autographs and maybe a ball if you work on it. Stand by the tarp and you should be able to get a good amount of signatures.

Great spring training ball park. Easy in. Will call is a bit slow but it was a Saturday game vs the Angels. Parking was maxed out. There is no need to pay to park in the private lots unless you don’t want to wait in long lines to get out.

A’s have taken a swing and missed! Stadium and renovations are very nice but atmosphere is lackluster and flat out boring. Concourse walls are bare, prison cell gray with minimal A’s regalia. No music played, no exciting promotions to entertain you in between the innings. No fun and games other than your standard speed pitch game in left field. No more Dos Gringos area in the outfield no corn hole games only 1 food truck… If you want to pay regular season prices to solely watch a baseball game or take a nap it may get 5 stars from you. A’s you have a great stadium, why don’t you liven things up. Other teams provide a major league experience above and beyond the game, you should do the same. I’ll be spending the rest of Spring at Sloan Park and Salt River Fields.

Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona used to be the spring-​training home of the Oakland A’s way back in the day. It then became the spring training home of the Chicago Cubs for many years, but the Oakland A’s have made a triumphant homecoming as of February 21, 2015 the stadium has been open to host the team. The stadium is a great piece of history and has been remodeled to showcase Oakland greats! Beautiful large pictures of Ricky Henderson and Mark Maguire adorn the hallways. Lots of shade added and now Oakland has a grass outfield for its fans. 57 foot scoreboard is the largest hi DEF scoreboard in the Cactus League. The last season was at Phoenix municipal Stadium and this is a huge upgrade. It definitely ranks up there with all the newer stadiums in the cactus league like Salt River Fields and Camelback Ranch.
Great fenced in area that people can get autographs from players as they leave the field.
Parking cost five dollars.
Buy your tickets at the box office so you don’t have to pay any surcharges over the Internet.

A spring training favorite and the last year it’s in service. I will be fascinated to see what the new stadium feels like. I’m sure as long as it has beer that is Krausened and people from the St. Charles area, it will be fine.

PUT ME IN COACH!
There is nothing like Spring Training Baseball. It doesn’t mean a single thing, so why not put me in. I can’t do any worse then the current Cubs. Right!!!
It is amazing how many Cubs fans there are in this World. This stadium is one of the larger ones and it still sells out. The traffic is horrible but it’s horrible when you go to Wrigley, so fans should be use to that. Plus people are trying to sell you spots in front of there houses, just like in Wrigley Field. And yes there are scalpers here too. They try to get more then face value but hold out because this is Spring Training. I don’t care if I miss the first inning. Mr. Scalper you’ll be begging me to take these tickets off your hands by the second inning.
I love how intimate spring training is. You can hear everything on the field and the crowd is really relaxed. The crowd should be relaxed. The sun is shinning… it’s snowing in Chicago and the Old Style beer is flowing. Yes this is probably the only place in AZ to find an Old Style. I’m sure my AZ Unilocalers will correct me but personally I’m not looking for Old Style outside of a Cubs game. It’s just ball park tradition!
My buddies and I have had some great times at Spring Training. I once made Jose Mesa blow a game. It was the 9^th inning and the Cubs were down by 4 runs. The stadium had emptied out, so my buddies and I moved to the front row. I decided it was time for some home town mojo. I started doing a little razing. Kind of like the copy guy on Saturday Night Live but everything had the word Mesa in it. The crowd around me was laughing very hard. If you give me an audience, then I will entertain you. My favorite part was when Mesa stepped off the rubber, turned his head and gave me the longest stare down. I think it took every bone in his body not to throw the ball at my head. In fact, the crowd all went, «Oooooooooo!» Yes we were officially in his head. In fact, everyone started chanting with me, «Mesa! Mesa! Mesa!» It was one of those amazing moments in my many adventures. All I cared about was that the Cubs won the game and I was the extra guy on the field. So technically I was kind of in one Cubs game. Now only if I could make this into a career.
There is also a great opportunity to see the Cub players out at the bars in the evening. I remember seeing Sammy Sosa before anyone knew who Sammy Sosa was. He was just hanging out near a pool table in a bar, while no one cared to even talk to him or get an autograph. I should have made him my BFF that night. I could have carried his cork bats around for him.
If you’ve never been to Spring Training I highly recommend it. It is a fun time and you get to hang with other Cub fans from around the country, while enjoying a few brews. It is also nice to start working on your tan. Batter up!!!

This place is a dump. The parking is atrocious and is the main reason why I will never attend a Cubs Spring Training game in Mesa. It took 45 minutes from Center Street and McKellips to park our car. As you are driving about 1 mile an hour or less for 45 minutes. The parking was next to a residential area that had a throng of people selling parking and two lines of cars slowly inching forward with no idea where the end was and no signage to give the paying fan a clue as to what was going on.
I heard this banging on my car which I thought was some gang banger or some overzealous resident trying to sell parking. It turned out to be a parking attendant that had the balls to bang on my Mercedes. This is not a fawking rental car and do you think I was trying to get away without paying $ 5 bucks for parking? First of all get in the proper position where you can make eye contact with the driver and maybe you can jog and get the driver’s attention before you go banging on someone’s car. Remember, I am driving at less than one mile per hour.
I think you get the point, I rather spend my money at a restaurant in Scottsdale or Phoenix instead of wasting any of my money at Hohokam Park.
