Salt River Fields Allowing Fans At Spring Training Games

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Scottsdale's spring training facility will allow a limited number of fans to watch their favorite teams play.

Salt River Fields, which is the spring training home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies, will allow some fans in the stadium — 2,200 per game, or 17 percent of its capacity.

The Arizona Cactus league announced on Feb. 3 it would open as scheduled after the Players Association rejected the league's proposal to delay the start by a month due to coronavirus concerns.

The Diamondbacks and Rockies are set to face each other for the first game of the season on Feb. 28.

Pitchers and catchers for the Diamondbacks reported for their first workout at Salt River Fields Wednesday. All workouts will be closed to the public this year due to coronavirus restrictions.

The Rockies will take the field tomorrow, according to the team's official Twitter account.

Tickets will be sold in groups of two, four and six people, or “pods,” and each pod will be spaced at least six feet apart. Masks will be required at all times for guests over the age of 2 except when someone is actively eating or drinking in their seats. Cash will not be accepted anywhere at Salt River Fields and concessions will be sold wrapped or packaged.

Tickets will go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.
