Salt River is awesome. Traffic around there sucked, though.
Next year, I'm going to the Cubs new park and to Glendale or Goodyear, minimum. Even if I have to rent a car and drive myself because the cool people want to hang out at the swimming pool.
The stadium itself is pretty awesome if you don't move around too much on a busy weekend. By much, I mean, at all. And if you focus on the butte rather than the freeway. And if you don't go into the team store. The newer spring complexes are awesome.... Salt River is sick... but I love the fact that the Angels don't share the site with another team.
40-50 with the Angels, no question. Conger is 25 and you should probably find out what he can do with a decent amount of major league playing time. I like his chances of doing better than the other backup candidates.
Yes. Supposedly, you can't bring in fast food like at The Big A... just food from home... but they don't search very thoroughly. You can also bring in a sealed bottle of water. Ask the Michael Jackson impersonator driving the bicycle taxi to stop and let you get a bottle and some peanuts across the street.
