Triple A affiliate to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Come see your favorite D'back playing for our home team! Or watch the next Craig Counsel make it to the "Big League". Season runs from April to September; home games played at Tucson Electric Park.
After 100 years, over 38 million people still show up to cheer on their favorite Minor League Baseball team in stadiums across the country, one of them being the Tucson Sidewinders. In 1998, the Tucson Toros moved to T.E.P. and became the Tucson Sidewinders, Triple A Affiliate for the AZ Diamondbacks. Part of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL), the Sidewinders are in the Pacific Coast League with other teams such as the Las Vegas 51's and the New Orleans Zephyrs.
During 2003 the Sidewinders will be celebrating 35 years in Tucson. A host of new activities will be featured throughout the season. Most notably every Tuesday while home, the Sidewinders will dress up in historical Tucson Toro uniforms. Even Tuffey, the Toros Mascot, makes a encore visit this season.
The Tucson Sidewinders share their home, Tucson Electric Park, with their MLB affiliate the Arizona Diamondbacks, who use this facility for Spring Training, and play with just as much heart and soul as their counterparts. Their games are action-packed and intimate in this up-close environment. Sidewinders team members are Diamondback players, proving that this team is indeed world class.
But baseball isn't all this team has to offer. The Sidewinders regularly host special events for fans attending the games, such as giving away hats or having the Famous Chicken there to entertain between innings. The mascot, Sammy, is always on hand to represent the team in a way that no one else can, making each game exciting and fun-filled. The stadium is equipped with numerous concession stands and (8) Luxury Suites, where you can buy steak and lobster to the best hot dog Tucson has to offer. The Sidewinders also host a "team shop", where you can get a shirt, cap, or your very own Sidewinder bobble-head.
So even if baseball isn't your favorite sport, the Tucson Sidewinders offer family, fun, and value. Featuring the Kids Korner rides, Snake Pit sports club, and the Minor League child care service. Admission prices range from $5 to $8, and there are lawn or box seats available.
