I am actually going to a game the last week of the AFL season... And AZ, this is the same area (Mesa, of course, being a suburb of Phoenix) that couldn't sell out a NLCS game the other night, and made asses of themselves by throwing garbage on the field the other night. I am not mad, I will enjoy sitting front row and watching some "future redbirds" play. The Mesa Solar Sox actually play in Ho Ho Kam park in Mesa, spring training home of the Cubs.

The stadiums are the same ones they use for Spring training and they seat about 6,000 people I would guess. I would highly recommend the AFL for autograph seekers and those wanting to see the players up close. The stadiums are empty (I could have had at least 10 fould balls if I'd been willing to get up and walk 10-50 feet to pick them up off the stadium floor), autographs are easy and plentiful (people were taking pictures of players holding their baby), and there are VIPs to be seen and even talked to if one desires (Walt Jocketty was sitting by him self two rows up and my right - I could have sat down beside him and chatted with him if I'd wanted).
