Spring Training 2007 - the countdown

This year we will be trying a different Motel 6 - on Scottsdale Road in Tempe. In 2006 we stayed at the Motel 6 closest to the A's stadium, which was conveniently located, had a refrigerator, and was less expensive than the Scottsdale one. The Scottsdale Motel 6 was a great price for the neighborhood, though. Right next to Fashion Square mall, walking distance to the movies and restaurants like P.F. Chang's (Barry Bonds and family arrived soon after we did on a Sunday evening in 2005), and the Original Pancake house just steps away for breakfast.

We have tickets to three games, Giants at Maryvale (Brewers) on 3/3, KC at A's on 3/6, and A's at Giants on 3/9. We ordered the Giants and A's tickets the first day they were available and asked for "best available", so we shall see how good they are! Whenever we go to Maryvale, we always have the best seats, cause few people come out to see the Brewers. A shame, since it is such a nice park, and the Sausage Races are so fun.
