Professional Sports

Nine major league baseball teams have spring-training camps around the Valley in the month of March, and exhibition games are scheduled at seven different stadiums.

  Golf Tournaments --  January's FBR Open Golf Tournament  Held at the Tournament Players Club (TPC) of Scottsdale, attracts more spectators than any other golf tournament in the world.  In March the Safeway International LPGA Tournament is held at the Superstition Mountain Golf & Country Club, 3976 S. Ponderosa Dr.,  see 100 of the top women golfers from around the world.

  • Hockey -- Ice hockey in the desert?  The NHL's Phoenix Coyotes  have a state-of-the-art arena in Glendale (northwest of downtown Phoenix).

       Football -- The Arizona Cardinals now in a new stadium in the west valley city of Glendale.

Pima Rd., Scottsdale. With its hundreds of stables, numerous equestrian arenas, and a polo field, this complex provides an amazing variety of entertainment and sporting events.

      Tennis Tournament -- Each February, top international men's tennis players compete at the Tennis Channel Open at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort.  The Stadium seats only 5,400 people, so all seats are good seats.
