I'm thinking of heading out there for a week in early March or whatever. Have never been. A few questions for those who would know:

* I'm just planning on buying tickets to games piecemeal (instead of buying a ticket package or whatever). Is that a good idea or should I reassess?

* Any cost to watch the Reds practice at their facility? Regardless, is it a pretty cool experience watching spring training practices?

* I'm just planning on getting a hotel or an Airbnb near the Reds' facility in Goodyear. Will I have a decent amount of options? (Would need to be a semi-nice hotel or Airbnb.) Or would you suggest something else?

Thanks for any help!
