Spring training and tourism officials this year are hoping to build on the continued rise in attendance that has occurred following player contract negotiations and pandemic restrictions in past years.
Cactus League officials say fans will be greeted with new game technology, the return of World Series champs Los Angeles Dodgers, and a rare Arizona appearance from a popular Grapefruit League team.
Cactus League Executive Director Bridget Binsbacher said attendance rose for the third straight season despite cold, wet weather that resulted in 10 cancellations, the most in more than a decade. Spring training rainouts are not made up.
