Could events contract keep D-Backs at Chase Field?

By Rebekah L. Sanders | The Republic

A lucrative events contract at the heart of the Arizona Diamondbacks’ lawsuit to leave Chase Field is expiring, leaving open a possibility: Could Maricopa County craft a new agreement that entices the team to stay?

When team officials first said publicly last year that they wanted contract concessions or they would seek a new home, they proposed taking over the contract to manage Chase Field’s non-baseball events. But now, an attorney for the team says whoever is awarded the work likely won’t satisfy the team’s concerns.

“It’s not going to affect the lawsuit,” Leo Beus told The Arizona Republic . He added: “At this stage, we just need the ability to look elsewhere.”

The contract for non-baseball events — such as big concerts, GoDaddy holiday parties and soccer matches — is the subject of a closed-door meeting today by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
