Kino Sports Complex
Home of Tucson Electric Park - Spring Training facility for the 2001 World Champion Arizona Diamondbacks. Multi-purpose facility with meeting and party rooms, classrooms, indoor basketball court, outdoor swimming pool, soccer, baseball and softball fields, Stadium seats 11,000.
Have you ever wondered where a world champion baseball team trains in order to go out and win the World Series? Well, if you're the Arizona Diamondbacks, you simply travel two hours south of Phoenix to the largest and most inclusive sports center in Tucson-Kino Veterans Memorial Sports Complex. And you'd practice in only the best facility there, of course, Tucson Electric Park (TEP).
Now you're thinking that since Spring Training only lasts about a month, is TEP vacant for the other 11 months? Not at all! With 8,000 stadium seats and over 3,000 lawn seats available, there is plenty of room for everyone in the family to grab a hot dog and soda and watch America's favorite game. Except baseball is not a year round sport, so what else happens there? A lot. Tucson Electric Park has hosted many large outdoor concerts featuring nationally acclaimed artists such as the Doobie Brothers and Smashmouth, as well as all-day community festivals. They are the home for non-profit fundraising events, car, and gem and mineral shows, and many more family events throughout the year, ranging from the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life to the 4th of July Family Fun Fest. TEP alone makes this facility exceptional, but this isn't the only thing at the Complex.
The Complex sits on 158-acres with Tucson Electric Park set on over 50,000 square-feet inside. The rest of the space is filled with 12 senior, 3 half and 2 youth sized baseball/softball fields, and 3 full-size soccer fields. In addition, some of these fields have lighting for extended evening play. Community teams in a championship game, a corporate competition, or a family reunion softball game frequently occupy these fields. With a view of the majestic Santa Catalina Mountains, this is the perfect spot for any event, whether it is a baseball game or a wedding. So when you attend a little league championship game there, keep your eye on the star pitcher, he's probably standing in Randy Johnson's footsteps.
Kino Veterans Memorial Sports Complex has 9 ramadas, numerous concession stands and many special event areas located throughout the grounds. The fields can be rented for community games or other uses. TEP seats cost between $5 and $19 for baseball games (costs may vary and differ for other events).
