'''Salt River Fields at Talking Stick''' is a [[stadium]] complex located in the [[Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community]] near [[Scottsdale, Arizona]], at the former site of the Indian Bend Country Club. It is the spring training home for the [[Arizona Diamondbacks]] and the [[Colorado Rockies]].
==History==
In 2009 after the Chicago White Sox moved their spring training facilities from Tuscon to Glendale, the Diamondbacks and Rockies expressed their desire to leave Tuscon. The teams began negotiations with multiple valley cities and Indian communities, with the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community coming out on top with a 20 year commitment from the teams to the facility. Construction began on November 17, 2009 with a aggressive fast tracked schedule to get the stadium done by the 2011 spring training season.<ref>http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/03/06/20090306dbacksrfp06-ON.html</ref>
