Review: Phoenix Greyhound Park

Posted by Editor On June - 28 - 2008

Ok, as you know I went to the Phoenix Greyhound Park last night to scope it out and to see if it was a good place to take a date.  Well, it is a pretty darned good place to take a date.  Now I know what some of you are saying ‘How is watching Dogs race a great place for a date’.  Simple:

1) It’s a cheap place to go – When you first date someone the last thing you want to do is spend tons of money to only find out she doesn’t dig you.  It’s free to park ($2 for Valet Parking) and it’s free to sit in the Grandstands ($3 to sit inside).

2) This is a place that promotes talking – There’s tons of time in between races for you to talk to your date and get to see if you two are a match with one another.

There’s more benefits of taking dates to places like this but I’m not giving up those secrets.  If you have game (something I need to work on that’s fo’ shizzle) and need a good place to take a date, this is it.

Open year round First race starts at 7:30 PM.

This picture below is right before a race but notice the blackness in the sky.  There was a HUGE fire in SW Phoenix (left side of the Picture) and blackened the sky around all of Phoenix.
