Man, Surprise has a great stadium, but I think it's the park that's furthest away from me.
They have the rising stars game there, so I go at least once a year, but Scottsdale, Mesa, and Phoenix are more in my area.
I whine because I'd like to follow the Brewers guys around, and they keep moving the team a few more miles away every year. Are they trying to tell me something?

Any word on the "Jr. AFL" yet?

They are hoping AJ ******* can get his first action of the year in the fall league.

I cannot wait to go again. This year it will be less crowded as there will be no Strasburg entourage. When are the dates? I know I went in October of last year and it was fun.

If Harper goes there will be 200 people at each game.

GO Saguaros!

I am boycotting football this year so the Fall League will be my entertainment

LazerShow15 · Aug 19, 2010

We should have a get together down there one night if some are in town.

Looking forward to going again this year. Scottsdale stadium is merely a block away from me. Gone to several games the last couple seasons and it's been a blast.

We should get an FCB squad organized to attend some games. I'm too lazy and uncoordinated to organize such a task myself, but I'm down to go if others are interested. It would be fun to attend some games with people who are actually familiar with the players on the field.

For sure, an FCB AFL get-together is in order. I usually put together a group buy for ROMLB baseballs around this time too. Of course, this usually leaves me with too many baseballs and not enough people in on it, but I've learned to live with it.

It's my favorite part of the year living in the valley. Even more so than Spring Training. Empty ballparks, available seats anywhere you want, beer, autographs, top prospects... right up my alley really.

Are me and HPC the only one's rockin the FCB Phoenix Chapter logo in our sigs? I didn't know half you guys were from around here. I'm guilty too, I took it out of my sig for a while.
Incorporate it!

I am from Wisconsin, but plan on staying in Tempe I believe. It depends. I will let you know specifics when I get the flight and where I am heading down.
