They should do a new training facility by the Salt River Fields in Scottsdale... The suns move to put the training facility in Arcadia (vs. a daily commute downtown) was huge for player morale and ability to attract free agents... (plus, it's fun to grab a drink at the Global Ambassador and have a good chance of running into Suns players)

The players live in Paradise Valley and Arcadia... put the training facility nearby... Plenty of raw land available right there off Pima just north of the spring training facilities...

Isn’t that native land? I’m sure Michael and family are looking for a sweetheart deal.

yeah, would be a long term lease. But the commercial structure is clearly workable with all those car dealerships, Spring training facilities, resorts, and retail there.

Honestly going to pitch my neighbor John Trusiak on it (board of directors of Salt River Devco)... he should approach the cardinals with something.

Confirmed on no possibility of Cards moving their practice facility to Salt River - Pima Corridor.... Bidwills too cheap and would cost at least $300M
