The Colorado Rockies 31-game
2010 spring
training
schedule features 15 home dates for the club in Tucson, Arizona. The
final two games of the schedule will be played in Albuquerque, New Mexico
against the Seattle Mariners. This schedule is subject to change, as the
team may add or remove games from the spring slate.
The spring schedule will begin on Thursday, March 4 with a road game at
Tucson Electric Park against the Diamondbacks. Following the opener, the
club will play split squad affairs at Scottsdale versus the Giants and at
Tempe versus the Angels on Friday, March 5. The first home game, which will
take place at Hi Corbett Field versus the Milwaukee Brewers, is slated for
Saturday, March 6. Six of the first eight games are scheduled to take place
at visiting venues; however, the club will remain in Tucson for two of those
away games (Thursday, March 4 and Sunday, March 7 at Tucson Electric Park
vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks). The Rockies' lone off day will be Wednesday,
March 24.
Colorado's spring schedule includes 15 games at Hi Corbett Field, the Spring
Training home of the Rockies. The Rockies, who have trained in Tucson since
1993, will hold their 18th Spring Training at the historic facility.
Highlights for the home schedule include a Monday, March 15 game vs. the
Chicago Cubs and a Thursday, March 25 game vs. the Cincinnati Reds.
Cincinnati will make its first visit to Hi Corbett Field as a member of the
Cactus League, as the Reds have trained in Florida since 1946.
Every Cactus League team will visit Hi Corbett Field at least once. Overall
the club will face each team at least once at home and once on the road. The
only exception to that has the Rockies visiting Tucson Electric Park twice.
The Rockies will send split squads to road games on four occasions,
including Sunday, August 14, when the club will face the Diamondbacks in
Hermosillo, Mexico. It will mark Colorado's first Spring Training game in
Mexico since matching up against the Padres in the city of Culiacan in 2001.
On Saturday, March 13, the Milwaukee Brewers will send a split squad to play
against the Rockies at Hi Corbett Field.
