The Dodgers today traveled north and a bit west to Surprise Stadium to face the Texas Rangers in their second game away from Camelback Ranch so far this spring. Of the 10 Cactus League stadiums, Surprise is the most northwest of them all, roughly 14 miles from Dodgers camp.

There is also the Double Play Diner on the right field side as well, another dining option.

The Rangers offices are in right field, behind this monument.

Here is another concession option near first base
