Scottsdale Stadium recorded its highest Spring Training attendance since 2019, drawing nearly 140,000 fans during the 2025 season, according to figures from the Cactus League. The 15-game schedule featured upgrades to the stadium’s Left Field berm, including a new shaded patio and expanded tree coverage in the outfield lawn.
“We are thrilled with how the new enhancements elevated the fan experience,” said Judy Doyle, Scottsdale’s senior director of enterprise operations. “These upgrades were designed to improve functionality and comfort—and we’re seeing that they’ve done exactly that.”
The improvements are part of a modernization plan that began after the 2019 season. The stadium’s location near Old Town Scottsdale continues to attract both visitors and local residents.
Sara Grauf, senior vice president of experience development for the San Francisco Giants, commented on the ongoing partnership: “The San Francisco Giants deeply value our decades-long relationship with the city of Scottsdale and the Scottsdale Charros, who have built the foundation that has allowed all of us to deliver a world-class Spring Training baseball experience to the Scottsdale community.”
“We are committed to continuing that tradition by providing fans with an unforgettable experience and enhancing Scottsdale Stadium through ongoing improvements that make it an even greater place to enjoy Giants baseball.”
The Scottsdale Charros played a significant role behind the scenes during Spring Training. Their activities included hosting guests in Charro Lodge and fundraising efforts such as selling programs and raffle tickets. Through these operations and year-round initiatives, along with support from the Charro Foundation, nearly $1.4 million was contributed to more than 100 local organizations across Scottsdale.
“The Scottsdale Charros have maintained a 63-year partnership with the City of Scottsdale at Scottsdale Stadium,” said Charros Executive Director Dennis Robbins. “This helps the Charros raise essential funds for local charities and public education. Additionally, our collaboration with the San Francisco Giants enhances our capacity to direct resources to where they are most needed. We are proud to continue serving our community through the wonderful game of baseball.”
City Manager Greg Caton highlighted both economic and community benefits: “We are honored to continue this longstanding partnership with the San Francisco Giants and the Charros,” he said. “Scottsdale Stadium is an example of the city strategically investing in a community facility that generates significant economic impact. This is well-run operation, and partnership, that is great for residents to enjoy and a tourism driver for the community.”
Scottsdale Stadium’s performance this season demonstrates continued investment in public facilities can benefit both residents and tourism.
