State Capitol

When I visited Sacramento and Austin in California, both cities are the capital cities and the state capitol was said to be a city with a complete feel. Unlike the two cities, Phoenix, the most active city in Arizona, was located in the state capital. Like Tempe, Mesa and Scottsdale, the city is well developed. The league's spring camp seems to act like an industry in March, and it seems like it would be easy to live in if it weren't for the mid-summer heat wave. The main exterior is bustling with tour guides and many tourists, and the state Senate and House of Representatives buildings are located next to the Capital Museum. I went into the State Senate building to use the restroom, and I can see people in suits and crowds getting ready for a meeting, all of which appear to be State Senates. The sky is clear without a single cloud, and despite the temperature, the desert seems to be the right place for the temperature to be 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Around the state capitol, the names of the Vietnam War and World War II victims and the contributors are lined up, and in a pavilion with statues of soldiers and cannons, the phrase “Freedom is not free” is written deep in the sidewalk.


Phoenix also has a spring training stadium. Milwaukee Brewers spring training home stadium is in Phoenix. This place gave me a similar cute feeling when I visited Milwaukee Miller Park. The stadium front is decorated with the names of Hank Aaron and Jackie Robinson in large letters, along with their numbers. Unlike Miller Park in Milwaukee had a young atmosphere with young college fans, this place has a relatively family atmosphere. Although there's severe traffic due to the construction in downtown, Chase Field in the middle is waiting to be wide open for the upcoming season opener. I didn't think there would be a spring camp here considering that Phoenix has big Chase Field. The stadiums of Florida's Grapefruit League can be traveled around Florida in about 40 minutes between the stadiums. With Phoenix as the antenna, 15 teams in 10 stadiums, including Mesa, Tempe, and Scottsdale, are all within an hour's distance. Team players are preparing for the season, and in the Cactus League Spring Camp, where fans can enjoy baseball in warm Arizona, has established itself as an industry in Arizona. If this period of weather repeats, Arizona may also be able to develop further, but it does not seem easy to find a place that satisfies all conditions.
