Things to Do
Attraction
Chase Field
The Arizona Diamondbacks' retractable roof stadium solved the seemingly impossible challenge of hosting outdoor baseball in a desert city, creating a venue that is also one of Arizona's premier concert destinations. The retractable grass field system allows the stadium floor to be configured for massive concert productions that have attracted touring shows impossible to house elsewhere in the Southwest. Baseball fans love Chase Field for the unique desert character it brings to what is fundamentally an outdoor American summer sport.

The 2001 World Series Championship banners and the memories of beating the Yankees make this a historically charged venue.
