11:30 a.m. prior to the 1:05 p.m. game time.
Glendale
native Jordin
Sparks will headline the pre-game activities with the singing of
the National Anthem. The recording artist rose to fame as the
season six winner of the hit FOX reality television show,
American Idol.
Adding
to the excitement of the Grammy nominated artist’s rendition
of the National Anthem, a flyover featuring four F-16’s from
nearby Luke Air Force Base is set to accompany the performance,
as well as a Color Guard formation from Luke AFB and fireworks
to cap off the celebration.
Pre-game
ceremonies will feature introductions of Glendale Mayor Elaine
Scruggs and Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, as well as city managers
from
Phoenix
and
Glendale
. The ceremonial first pitches will be thrown by Dodger Manager
Joe Torre and Chicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen to their
opposing team’s catchers.
Keeping
up with their long-standing ties to the communities in which
they play, the Dodgers and White Sox have provided jerseys to
two local little league teams from Holiday Park Little League,
right here in
Glendale
. These two teams, now proudly wearing new
Los Angeles
and
Chicago
uniforms, will also take part in the celebration, as the Little
Leaguers will join their Major League counterparts on the lines
during team introductions.
In
order to honor the rich
Arizona
culture, a Native American Dance performance will open up the
pre-game ceremony, as Brian Hammill, the 2009 World Champion
Hoop Dancer, will be performing a dance in the outfield,
symbolizing the circle of life.
Prior
to the pre-game activities, Camelback Ranch –
Glendale
will offer live entertainment. Come Back Buddy, a local band
that covers hits from the 1950s and 60s, will perform in the
bandstand area located directly in front of the two-acre lake
near the center field rotunda entrance. The performance will
take place from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Other
scheduled festivities will include face painting, a balloon
artist/magician, and stiltwalkers. Activities of this nature for
children will take place at every Sunday game at Camelback Ranch

November
19, 2007 - What
A Day It Was....
Glendale Arizona/COG GDP –
With the words “play ball” announced by Dodger great Vin Scully, the
cities of Glendale and Phoenix broke ground on the Cactus League’s
newest spring training facility. In addition to Mr. Scully, dignitaries on
hand for the much anticipated event included Governor Janet Napolitano,
Mayor Scruggs and Mayor Gordon,
Debbie Johnson of the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority ,
team owners Frank and Jamie
McCourt of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Jerry Reinsdorf of the Chicago
White Sox, Dodger legend Jaime Jarrin and White Sox General Manager Ken
Williams.
 A festive atmosphere abounded as
the crowd was treated to a rendition of the national anthem by world renowned trumpet
player Jesse McGuire (left
w/Vin).
The crowd enjoyed tasty hot dogs from Glendale’s
Dazzo’s Dog House and a seventh inning stretch where
attendees enjoyed singing "Take Me Out To The Ball Park"
along with Vin Scully .
Marking the start of
construction for the facility, members of the Arrowhead Little League
(pictured to right), passed out commemorative baseballs and dignitaries
officially broke ground in a ceremonial shovel dig.
The
site is located at 111th Avenue, west of the Loop 101 between Camelback
Road and Glendale Avenue, and reaches across both Glendale and Phoenix
city borders. The two-team facility will be the new home to the Los
Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox, and in addition to state-of-the-art
baseball facilities, the site will include, residential, restaurant and
retail development, 4-star hotel and 18-hole golf course, developed by
Rightpath Limited Development Group.
Located just across the Loop
101 from Glendale’s Sports and Entertainment District, this project will
complement the existing amenities in the area, providing additional venues
and entertainment options to an area already expected to generate a
regional economic impact of more than $1 billion over the next two
years.
Citizens marveled as this
unprecedented project partnered two of the state’s largest cities
in an effort to benefit an entire region. It will provide baseball fans,
residents and tourists a full array of activities and create economic and
tourism opportunities that will make the region’s newest sports and
entertainment district like no other in the country.
Based on a 2006 Economic Impact
Study conducted by Economic Research Associates (ERA), it is estimated
that moving the Dodgers and White Sox will have a substantial economic
impact for Glendale, Phoenix and the region. It is anticipated that the
economic impact for the region could be as much as $19 million per year.
Details of the project are as follows:
- The10,000-seat stadium, with 3,000 lawn seats
will cost approximately $76 million to build.
- The Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority will
provide 2/3 of the funding needed to construct the facility.
- 118,000 sq. feet of major and minor league
clubhouses for the two teams
- Four major league practice fields
- Eight minor league practice fields
- Two practice infields
- The site will include parking to accommodate
5,000 vehicles.
