Chase Field


Phoenix, AZ
Chase Field
Summer 2007
http://www.diamondbacks.mlb.com/
Game Day Atmosphere: Kind of ho-hum. There are many things to do in the Phoenix area, and it didn't seem as though baseball was at the top of the list for the locals.
Stay: In one of the 100's of resorts nearby. You'll drive about 20-30 minutes to get to the game, but you can't beat the amenities at the resorts or the cost. VERY affordable.
View: Best way to describe this place is cavernous, but the players were launching the homers out at BP with the roof closed.
Arrive: Park right across the street from Chase Field at a parking garage. The walk is incredibly short and the price is very cheap.
Concessions: The sausage was especially good here. They also gave vouchers for some free combo meals as we entered the stadium, which helped save money on concessions.
Not advertised: That place can get really loud with the roof closed. Our game only had 20,000 and it was LOUD!
Not in the box score: The players from the D'Backs were very friendly flipping many balls from BP to the seats for kids.
Final Box:
Arizona Diamondbacks 7, Florida Marlins 0
Attendance 20,154 Time 2:48
