Where is this?

In the Phoenix metro area, if you look on a map there is a large swath of undeveloped land that is bordered by Scottsdale to the north and Mesa to the south, I'm guessing this complex will be in there somewhere.

As nice as these new spring training facilities are, it seems to take away from the pilgrimage Spring Training offered, a chance to go back and just watch baseball for the sake of watching baseball. Why they need all this extra stuff, I guess I don't understand.
