[ Bag Policy ] BAGAIL Clear Stadium Tote, 12 x 6 x 12
The Phoenix Open, Barrett-Jackson and most Cactus League parks enforce a clear-bag policy at the gate, and the line for people who did not know is the slowest one on the property. This is the standard 12 x 6 x 12 size that every venue accepts.
[ Berm Cooler ] Coleman Chiller 30-Can Soft Cooler
The Cactus League berms, the polo tailgate and the Fall League lawn all want a cooler you can carry from a far lot. Soft-sided, leakproof, and holds ice through a day game in March. Check each park's current policy on what goes in it.
[ Own Shade ] Sport-Brella Super-Brella 8-Foot Canopy
Youth tournaments at Bell94, the WestWorld lots and every lawn seat share one problem: no shade. An eight-foot canopy that plants in the ground, tilts, and packs like a big umbrella. Pack your own shade or spend the day looking for it.
[ Bleachers ] Reversible Stadium Seat Cushion
Scottsdale Stadium's bleacher rows and the WestWorld grandstands are aluminum, which is cold in February and scorching by the third inning in March. A cushion with a handle fixes both, and it is the difference on a three-hour day game.
[ Lawn Seats ] ZAZE 80-Inch Waterproof Picnic Blanket
Lawn seats at Salt River Fields are the cheapest ticket in the Cactus League and the berm is wet with dew at gates-open. A big blanket with a waterproof back claims the spot, then does the polo tailgate, Canal Convergence and the Fall League.
