Surprise Stadium

Surprise Stadium is a baseball stadium and training complex in Surprise, Arizona. The stadium opened in 2002 and serves as the spring training home of the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers. It is also the home of the Surprise Saguaros of the Arizona Fall League. Surprise Stadium has a capacity of 10,500 fans.

Where are the Best Places to Sit at Surprise Stadium

The best seats at Surprise Stadium might be sections 201-206. While these are the only seats in the stadium that are located on the second level, they are the only seats with an overhang that shields fans from the hot Arizona sun during day games. If beating the heat isn’t a priority, sections 100-106 will offer the closest view of the field and are located right behind home plate. Seats down the first-base line of the stadium behind the Rangers’ dugout are also seats with a nice view of the field and are more likely to be in the shade than seats on the third-base side of the stadium.

Tips for Visiting Surprise Stadium

In addition to the permanent seats, Surprise Stadium also has a berm beyond the outfield wall for general admission seating. This area offers a nice view of the field and can put fans close to each team’s bullpen. Also, Surprise Stadium is one of the few spring training complexes in Arizona that have a concourse that circles the entire field. Getting a general admission ticket for the berm encourages you to walk around the concourse a time or two, checking out the stadium from every angle.

Food to Try at Surprise Stadium

There are multiple concession stands at Surprise Stadium, offering classic stadium fare. Among the traditional items, the hot dogs at Surprise Stadium have a great reputation. There are also more unique options, including cheddar muffin dogs, the bacon and mac and cheese dog, waffle fries, and grilled corn on the cob.
