Scottsdale Spring Training 2025 Season Generates Over $1 Million for Local Nonprofits

Scottsdale Stadium's 2025 Spring Training season drew nearly 140,000 fans, marking the highest attendance since 2019.

 

This surge in enthusiasm not only energized the ballpark but also translated into significant support for local nonprofits.

 

The Scottsdale Charros, a cornerstone of the community since 1961, harnessed the season's success to contribute nearly $1.4 million to over 100 local organizations.

 

Beneficiaries included the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale, Family Promise, and Scottsdale Arts, among others.

 

These funds are pivotal in sustaining programs that enrich the lives of Scottsdale residents.

 

Enhancements to the stadium, particularly the revamped Left Field berm with its new shaded patio and expanded tree cover, significantly elevated the fan experience.

 

Judy Doyle, Scottsdale's senior director of enterprise operations, expressed satisfaction with the improvements, noting they were designed to enhance comfort and functionality.

 

The San Francisco Giants, Scottsdale's Spring Training partner for over four decades, reaffirmed their commitment to the community.

 

Sara Grauf, the Giants' senior vice president of experience development, emphasized the value of their longstanding relationship with the city and the Charros, highlighting their dedication to providing an unforgettable baseball experience.

 

City Manager Greg Caton underscored the strategic importance of investing in community facilities like Scottsdale Stadium.

 

He noted that such investments not only generate significant economic impact but also enhance the quality of life for residents and attract tourism.

 

As Scottsdale continues to invest in its public facilities, the synergy between sports, community service, and economic development remains a home run for the city.
