Hi Corbett Field of Tucson
Tucked within Randolph Park east of downtown Tucson is Hi
Corbett Field, formerly the home of the city's Pacific Coast League Sidewinders
(who for years were called the Toros). Well, the minor-league team moved
south of town into the gorgeous new Tucson Electric Park, meaning the lone (pro)
tenant uses Hi Corbett just for Spring Training. That team is the Colorado
Rockies.


The photo above was taken at a Rockies' exhibition game in
2004. Note the mountains beyond the grandstand.
To be honest, this is not the most impressive of Arizona's
parks, but fans have been flocking here for many years. Rockies fans pour
into the park every March to watch their beloved team -- and to escape the
weather in Colorado! Don't forget that you can head a few miles south and
find the complexes surrounding Tucson Electric
Park, where you can
see two different teams train . . . and an extremely nice stadium.
By the way, when in Tucson, BASEBALLPARKS.COM stays at the Lazy-8 Motel on the southern edge of town. The people there will treat you
great!
