Could the Arizona Diamondbacks leave Chase Field?
Arizona Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall recently talked with Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic and addressed the team’s future in their downtown Phoenix venue.
In his comments, Hall talked about whether the team could stay at Chase Field or play at a new site in the future, also addressing legislation that had been passed to raise money in a taxing district.
“That’s all been approved. The theme park district can be activated and can be in place. That’s an option to keep us at Chase Field. Like the roof, it’s not that it can’t be overcome, but what was once $220 million-$280 million in needs is $400 million or so now,” Hall told Piecoro. “We just need to know — pretty soon — what we’re doing. Whether it’s going to be Chase Field, which would be retro and reno and fix everything under the hood first, and hopefully develop around Chase Field. Or if it’s going to be a new site.”
