Okay, baseball fans, the time is near. The season is almost upon us, which means downtown will once again become the center of your universe.

It’s been a long, cold winter, hasn’t it? As the skies clear and the weather warms, the start of Arizona Diamondbacks baseball falls upon us, bringing with it the tradition, excitement and thrilling entertainment only this game can provide. While the team gets their energy going at spring training, you can still catch the action at a Phoenix Suns game at US Airways Center, where Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire and crew continue to tear up the hard court, giving die-hard fans a reason to cheer. If the competitive spirit of professional sports has inspired you to get up and get active, check out downtown’s wide range of fitness clubs and sports facilities.

Box it out at the Central Boxing Gym, where Iron Mike himself was once a regular, or participate in a friendly game of pickup basketball at the Lincoln Family Downtown YMCA.You can also try your hand at Pilates, yoga, kinetics and other unique forms of exercise at downtown gyms and studios that will get your heart pumping.

Giving commuters quick and easy access to the city’s top cultural and entertainment hubs, METRO light rail has become an integral part of the downtown landscape. The 20-mile route runs from Mesa to Tempe to downtown Phoenix, with an available route to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Along the way, riders have access to some of the Valley’s most significant destinations, as well as downtown’s most celebrated venues. Interested in expanding your creative horizons? Climb aboard and stop at any of downtown’s amazing art galleries and spaces. In the mood to be entertained with a good theater show?

Rail Talk: What’s new on the line It’s been a year since The Train Tracks launched, giving light rail commuters the chance to experience one of the most unique musical performance shows around. Since then, the concept has evolved into a weekly format showcasing up-and-coming bands that square off in a show at the Phoenix Art Museum every quarter. If you haven’t ridden the rail and experienced this unique performance concept, what are you waiting for?

When it comes to downtown dining, you’ll never find yourself without a delicious variety of options.

But if you’re in the mood to get dressed to the nines and have a “grown-up” meal, downtown offers some of the most sophisticated and swanky restaurants in the Valley. If you consider the view just as important as the meal, make reservations at the Compass Room. Perched high atop the Hyatt Regency Phoenix, this rotating restaurant is known for exquisite cuisine and impressive wine selection.

If it’s nostalgia you’re after, Durant’s is the place to see and be seen. Opened in 1950, this Phoenix landmark serves up meals fit for a king, such as hearty cuts of filet mignon, porterhouse steak and prime rib. Just off the beaten path is the Rokerij, a hip and happening little hideaway serving such American favorites as pork tenderloin, grilled veal chop and rack of lamb.And it doesn’t stop there. Downtown has a number of other great spots, perfect for a romantic date or a pre-show dinner.

AFTER HOURS

Like its sister clubs Palazzo and Club DWNTWN, Sanctum is open until 4 a.m., giving late-late-night crawlers a place to hang after a hard night of partying—just in time for a hearty breakfast to beat those hangover blues.

4343 N. 7th Ave. 602-264-1700

sanctum, the newest club to hit the downtown scene, is creating quite a stir since it opened late last year. Sure the music’s slamming, but it’s the Gothic-inspired setting, complete with gargoyles and seraphim casting their steely glares at patrons below, that’s making this dance club the hottest spot in downtown.
