The ongoing fight between Maricopa County and the Arizona Diamondbacks over stadium repairs has entered a new phase, newly released records show.
County officials in recent weeks have rejected most of the team’s request for $65 million in upgrades to Chase Field, saying the repairs don’t meet the lease agreement’s requirements for funding. Requested repairs include suite renovations, painting and a new scoreboard, all of which county officials say are cosmetic and the team’s responsibility.
