PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks will officially open their 36-game 2016 spring training schedule on March 2 against the Colorado Rockies at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale.

The Diamondbacks will play 22 games at Salt River Fields -- 19 home games and three "away" games vs. the Rockies, with whom they share the facility for a sixth season.

ASU opened its 2015 spring training schedule with an exhibition game against Arizona State, and they'll follow this year's game vs. Arizona with a 2017 exhibition game against Grand Canyon.

"We are excited to kick off our 2016 Spring Training schedule against my alma mater," D-backs manager Chip Hale said. "It will be a great way to start our quest for a championship."

The official spring training schedule features three evening games at Salt River Fields and a spring-training-ending two-game set vs. the World Series champion Kansas City Royals at Chase Field on April 1-2. The regular season opens April 4. with the D-backs hosting Colorado.
