The D-backs not only have the good fortune of training less than two hours away from Chase Field, they have the opportunity to work in one of the most modern spring facilities in baseball. Tucson Electric Park is the centerpiece of the Pima County Kino Sports Complex, that also includes six-field practice facilities for both the D-backs and Chicago White Sox.

Tucson Electric Park has a capacity of 11,500, including 8,500 seats in the main grandstand and another 3,000 available on the outfield lawn. Also the summer home of the Tucson Sidewinders, TEP features a major league clubhouse that the D-backs use during the spring and clubhouses for visiting clubs and umpires. The home clubhouse also has an indoor batting cage located on the lower level on the way to the playing field.

During the spring session, the D-backs will dress daily in the major league clubhouse at Tucson Electric Park, while doing the majority of their work at the minor league complex across Ajo Way. Once the exhibition season begins, Arizona will take batting practice either on the stadium field, or on a diamond behind TEP, where the D-Backs also have a half-field for infield work. The D-backs generally hit the field at 9:30 a.m. on a daily basis during the workout phase of camp.

Tucson Electric Park has a symmetrical playing surface, measuring 340 feet down each foul line and 405 to straightaway center field. The spring home for the D-backs is located at 2500 East Ajo Way in Tucson.
