It was a banner year!!

Thanks to our wonderful fans for making the 2009 Cactus League season the best in history.

The overall attendance reached 1.57 million baseball fans, a nearly 20% increase over 2008. That is a new Cactus League record and one we could not have achieved without loyal fan support!

The local benefit of the Cactus League is significant. This time-honored Arizona tradition generates interest in our beautiful state and is a proven economic driver. Based on previous economic impact studies, the total impact is growing to an estimated $359 million statewide.

This year we welcomed the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Indians to the Cactus League and two new beautiful stadiums that fans will enjoy for years to come. Next year, we welcome the Cincinnati Reds!

Remember to Root Root Root for those home teams - and see you next year in Arizona!
