Carey School of Business, most out-of-state visitors stayed three to four nights, with Tempe being at the top for visitors' lodging destination choice behind Scottsdale and ahead of Phoenix. The survey also found that people who came to Tempe for spring training games contributed $2.3 million in direct state and local taxes, with accommodation and dining being their top spending items.
