With the establishment of the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1998 Phoenix became one of the select few cities in America to enjoy franchises from all four major sports as well as a major Division I college athletic program.

MLB: Arizona Diamondbacks
BaseballThe Diamondbacks feature one of the best young farm systems in baseball, and are currently ushering in an exciting youth movement with superstars in the making like Stephen Drew, Conor Jackson and Carlos Quentin. The Diamondbacks play at the state of the art Chase Field, a world class dual-use facility that ensures 365 day a year fan comfort with its retractable roof system, that also allows baseball to be played under the open sky and on natural turf.

Interleague play ensures that you'll be able to see your favorite teams take on the Diamondbacks whether they reside in the American or National League.

MLB: The Arizona Fall League & Spring Training
BaseballArizona is home to baseball nearly year round thanks to spring training and the Arizona Fall League. Twelve major league teams take part in Cactue League baseball in the spring: The Anaheim Angels, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and of course our own Arizona Diamondbacks.

Additionally major league teams send their very best and brightest prospects to comprise six teams that compete in a special fall league. Like spring training, the fall league provides real major league action featuring the stars of tomorrow at a budget price. You'll get the chance to get up close and personal with star prospects in intimate open air venues with high player accessability.

NBA: Phoenix Suns
BasketballWith the acquisition of now two time MVP point guard Steve Nash, the Suns have established themselves as perrenial title contenders and are credited with ushering in a new era of fun and gun basketball that's revolutionized the NBA. High-flying frontcourt partners Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion team up to create a formidable front-court that just may power the Suns to their first NBA title this season.

The US Airway Center is about more than just basketball, with fine dining, clubs and entertainment all available just steps away from the hardwood.

NFL: Arizona Cardinals
FootballHead coach Dennis Green has made major strides in raising the bar for the Arizona Cardinals from also-rans to division title contenders. The Cardinals have made an impression in their new home with arguably the best young receiving tandem in Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. With the acquisition of multiple pro bowl running back Edgerrin James and dazzling rookie signal caller Matt Leinart the Cardinals are poised to great things along with Clancy Pendergast's vastly improved defense.

The Cardinals new domed stadium is world renowned for both its landmark architecture and its state of the art technology. Visitors will be dazzled with its unparalleled ameneties, retractable field and spacious seating.

NHL: The Phoenix Coyotoes
FootballIn hockey there is no name bigger than Wayne Gretzky. The great one has stepped out of the general manager's box in Phoenix to take the reigns of this young and improving franchise as coach to guide it to a possible playoff birth. Jeremy Roenick's return to the valley has brought his hard-nosed style of play back to the franchise, and along with Shane Doan, Ladislav Nagy and veteran goalie Curtis Joseph this up tempo team is ready to make its mark on the new NHL.

The Coyotes also play in a brand new arena, the Glendale Arena at Westgate opened its doors in 2003 and is viewed as one of the NHL's very best.
