Arizona Diamondbacks - Chase Field

[@user-en7qh9jv4b]

What a beautiful Ballpark!

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

Indeed and now it will be shown off in the World Series.

[@beckymac7150]

Great video. Visited there some years ago and you pointed out a lot of things we didn't notice. Yeah!

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

Thank you for checking out the channel and glad you liked the video.

[@Chase_Playz2005]

I live 18 mins away from Chase Field. I have been there a lot, and I just love it. Probably my favorite part of it, is the pool. Never been there, but as of right now, Chase Field is the only MLB stadium that has one. Also, they dont open it that much either, because the roof has a big issue, and they dont want to open it when fans are inside

[@ImDemise2023]

I live 30 mins away from Chase Field and i go there very frequently. I love the ballpark, however the upper deck is unbelievably atrocious. Many people have said this, but I never believed them until i personally got a ticket to an upper deck seat 35 rows up, and while it may not sound like a lot, once you get to your seat you start thinking twice about whether or not you should make the trip all the way back down for food and drinks. I feel like Chase Field has one of, if not THE worst upper deck in MLB, but other than that, the entire Stadium both inside and outside is very beautiful and is always an amazing experience. Also, the Roof has its own website that people can go check before a game to see whether or not it will be open.

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

From am architectural appearance the upper deck is not terrible, but as a fan it is rough. I was up in the upper deck at the 49ers stadium and it is very high up. Thank you for pointing out there is a website for the roof to check.

[@luisaspo]

When I visited Chase field the very first thing that seem so special (no to say strange) is center field. I just couldnt made my mind if I liked or not... finally... I liked it... It turned to be sort of interesting.

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

Thank you for your input. I do think it is something that grew on me as well after seeing it in person.

[@roaklin]

I work here, the roof is kept close once it over 95 degrees. When it cooler lile spring and fall the roof is opened as well as the big panels on the north wall. You left out the franchise musuem with the world series trophy on display.

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

Thank you for the insight. Hopefully you still enjoyed the video. That is awesome that you work there!

[@roaklin]

@@StadiumsoftheWorld10 very enjoyable video, thanks for showing off my home

[@kgallagher76]

Im coming here in August this year. Visiting from Australia. Will be watching D'backs v Phillies with my daughter. Looking for advice on the best place to sit, and areas to avoid.

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

That is exciting. What part of Australia are you coming from? Most people complain about the upper deck being way to large so you may want to enjoy that. Not a seat, but check out the hot tub in right center field when you are there. Where do you typically like to sit at baseball games?

[@kgallagher76]

@@StadiumsoftheWorld10 Coming from Sydney. Not sure if we'll be at the Thursday or Friday game on Aug 8 or 9. Have never been to an MLB game but have been a fan for years. What's more fun - sitting beyond the left field fence, or paying a bit more and sitting closer to 1st or 3rd base?

[@roaklin]

@@kgallagher76 make sure you check out the world series musuem when you visit, it located under the picnic area.(I work at Chase Field) .

[@reesejabs1895]

I like Chase Field, but I almost wonder if they should have just made it a fixed roof dome. It's rarely open.

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

It is a tough call. It is almost never open. It is hard to beat an open roof when it is open though. The new NFL stadiums have great new roofs, but it would be nice to be able to open if the weather was nice that day.

[@dond1ddly]

I’ve gone 4 times and they opened it everytime. I think they’ll open it when I go to game 4 of the World Series as well.

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

So I assume it would have been cheaper to just build a park with a fixed roof to begin with. Do they open it in the offeason or anything? I guess they don't need to if they have field turf now. I was at Texas last summer and didn't even realize it was field turf, so whatever turf they use now is very realistic.

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

It would have cheaper. Looking back maybe that is what they wish they would have done. They do have it open occasionally at the beginning of the season when it is cooler.

[@reesejabs788]

They don't need to replace this stadium. They need to start broadcasting the games locally and quit trying to squeeze every penny from subscribers to cable. That way people can follow the team and care about them.

[@SunshineCarpetCleaning]

Absolutely, I'm in complete accord. Their greed has noticeably increased of late. Moreover, they've ceased accepting cash within the stadium. All payments, including those to the hotdog sellers roaming the stands, must now be made exclusively via credit card. It seems as though they're intent on monitoring every single cent we spend.

[@199hf]

They are looking to renovate it and stay downtown. They also can open the roof only when it's vacant because of mechanical issues with the cables which need to be fixed. No opening or closing during games. Where are the suites?

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

Correct, they are looking to fix the roof issue later this year. Can you clarify your question about where are the suites?

[@199hf]

@@StadiumsoftheWorld10 I didn't see a lot of suite level club boxes on second level at this stadium

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

They go from foul pole to foul pole. Most of them were shut in the video so you could only see the ones that were opened up.

[@hectoresandoval8495]

So is the batting cages free ? I go here a lot but there’s so much that idk . Some areas idk if I’m allowed you know

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

I believe it is free. If not, maybe someone can say otherwise. There are locations in the video that are not open to the public during a game.

[@that_one_random_1]

I like the games, events, and food there and i didnt even realise the kid place from there

[@that_one_random_1]

Oh and the roof opens

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

And it is going to have a World Series this year.

[@SunshineCarpetCleaning]

A portion of the cuisine is excellent, while some is less impressive. Certainly, the upper level offers a more limited array of dining options compared to the bottom level.

[@adanalyst6925]

Suprised lots of people rate this at the bottom, I actually really like it and it fits Arizona perfectly. I have good memories of going here as a Toddler, I remember the slides haha. They do NOT need a new stadium and hopefully the locals don’t let them do that anytime soon even though I know they were wanting to.

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

Yeah, it seems like a lot of people either hate it or love it. I really enjoy it and hopefully they keep it for years to come.

[@stevennieto9898]

They should just renovate it instead of replacing it.

[@user-en7qh9jv4b]

You should tour American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin home of the Milwaukee Brewers!

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

It is on my list. I am hoping to do a trip and go to Green Bay, Madison and Milwaukee and check out a lot of the stadiums there.

[@johnnyyuma3878]

How is section L? I just bought tickets

[@kalanix51]

I love this stadium.

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

It is a great stadium. Hopefully the diamondbacks continue to play there.

[@jordanboteler8978]

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

Agreed. A lot of people do not like it, but I think it is a great ballpark

[@mousebean]

Chase Field is awesome

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

I agree. It is a unique stadium. A lot of people are hating on it and say the Diamondbacks need a new stadium, which does not seem to be the case.

[@reesejabs1895]

It looks good to me.

[@barontaylor7139]

Doesn’t having the roof and windows open defeat the purpose of air conditioning?

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

They would do one or the other. Doing both at the same time would defeat the purpose.

[@lionelt7882]

They open the windows and sometimes the roof, early in the AM, in the summer months…and close it before cranking the AC during the day. Also, they’re only open during a game in cooler months. I used to work near there and everytime I’d drive in around 6am, the windows would be wide open

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

Thank you for that insight.

[@SunshineCarpetCleaning]

Talking about air conditioners, there's a special kind used for big buildings that need a lot of air to move around. If you look at the big cooling units on the side of the stadium, near where you park your car, you'll notice they're huge-almost like buildings themselves. They're really something to see, and it takes a whole crew working all the time to keep them running properly.

[@LarryTornetta]

I have been to Chase Field twice. Phillies d backs and padres d backs. I am from Philly. I am a die hard Phillies fan. I like Citizens Bank Park better. I know Chase Field is older. Built in 1998. CBP, opened in 2004. I like Citizens Bank Park better. Chase Field, is not bad. Although, I cannot stand Manny Machado.

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

I love Citizens Bank Park. It is one of my favorites. I agree, Chase is not bad, but does not hold up compared to Citizens Bank.

[@ucruci]

It's barely 25 years old and it is a very modern sleek ball park. So, why are the Diamondbacks unhappy and wants a new stadium, bad enough that they are threatening to move??

[@daviddziedziak6837]

I was there for the 2023WBC . Roof was closed it felt like a warehouse . The bathrooms are small and not kept up with paper towels and soap. The concourse is to small.

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

They probably not used to having a crowd of that size. Getting around the warehouse feel is tough for indoor stadiums.

[@rdj252]

No it’s not. The Astrodome, the old Metrodome and Minute Maid Park didn’t and don’t have that feel or look. This, in my 50 years and almost 20 ballparks visited is by far the worst. Ugly, boring and feels too small. Nothing stood out or was memorable. The people who love this place have nothing to compare it to is my guess.

[@RedRaiderLobo20]

[@StadiumsoftheWorld10]

People are really hating on large upper decks in major league baseball and new stadiums are trending away from them these days. This does not appear to be the case for other sports though. Power 5 College football stadiums have been renovating their stadiums to include massive upper decks.

Explain the illogic of MLB. We must build smaller and smaller stadiums. Thirty thousand capacity in the proposed stadiums in TB and LV. At the same time, rip out seats in perfectly fine stadiums like Cleveland's. Dumb.
