Chase Field

Always a pleasurable experience at Chase Field. I love the upgrades they are making in there from the tvs and standing room tables to the restaurants that are more catered to great, local eateries. The typical ballpark food is incredible here as well from the Sonoran Dog to the Dbacks Dog!

Love this stadium as they open the roof and windows and you can enjoy the beautiful view of the city while watching our Arizona Diamondbacks.
Picked up our tickets at will call and proceeded to the gates. It was HOT out!
Requested that my daughter not go thru metal detector due to her medical device and they didn’t bat an eye and provided a female to do a pat down. It was fast and efficient.
All the Chase staff was so friendly and nice.
Now, the reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the price and quality of food! Holy schmoly its expensive. I paid $ 11.25 for a draft beer that was chilled a bit, not even cold and refreshing. Brats were $ 7.25, giant cookie $ 5, and a snow cone $ 4. Spent a good chunk of change and will definitely come more prepared next time as so many people carried in their own food.

I’ve only ever been to Chase Field to watch the Diamondbacks. I really enjoy the stadium. I like that there are many vendors around the field and fun activities for kids to do on the upper deck. The field is beautiful and I love the architecture! Event staff are very friendly too!

I’ve been to all of the major league ball parks and this review is for a three game series I just attended. My first visit to the park was shortly after the stadium was built (and called the BOB). At the time, the stadium felt commercial and sterile. I found the experience much more pleasant this time. We sat in three completely different areas in the course of the three games and enjoyed each view. The Cheeseburger Dog may be the best tasting food option in the stadium. We also shared the $ 30 corn dog and the churro dog. The people in guest services seem to do anything necessary to make you visit pleasant. We walked to the games from our hotel, but noticed that parking is close and reasonably priced.

To preface my review… I’m a huge baseball fan that has visited a ton of parks, and grew up going to Wrigley Field in Chicago. A bit spoiled to say the least. I now find myself living in the desert and have adopted the Dbacks as my team (as long as they aren’t playing the Cubs).
I like this park a lot. Tickets are extremely reasonably priced. I haven’t had a seat with a bad view of the game. I’ve sat in box seats, as well as the upper deck and everywhere in between. It’s clean, very family friendly (almost too much so!), lots of food and drink options, and on occasion we’ve had ushers come to our seats to take our food/​drink order. I’ve never had that anywhere else. Scoreboard is very large but doesn’t take away from the game. The pool is kind of cheesy, but I guess it’s a fun quirk that defines the park.
Parking is usually very plentiful and reasonably priced (we usually pay no more than $ 15 and on occasion have found street parking).
Four stars as opposed to five because:
— when, on the rare occasion, the foodstands get busy they move VERY slowly and don’t handle the crowds well.
— this park is almost TOO commercialized. The first time I went (when it was the «BOB» back in the early 2000s), the first thing I thought was that it felt like the game was being played inside of a shopping mall. It still has that feel.
— some friends of ours that attend games with us have gotten food poisoning from the «All You Can Eat» food.
— the post-​game neighborhood experience isn’t much at all… but again, having lived in Wrigleyville for over 10 years, it’s probably not a fair comparison. Could be a plus or minus, I suppose.
Haven’t ever attended a concert here, so I can’t speak to that experience. AZ in general doesn’t handle crowds well, so I could see that being a mess. As far as the overall baseball experience goes, it’s pretty stellar. Now if the Dbacks could only field a winning ballclub and put some butts in the seats…

As I ready myself to write this review, I’m noticing people complaining about this venue. Some for the customer service. Some for the teams playing (really??). Some for the prices. I’ve personally been coming to this stadium since I was a teenager (it will always be BOB), I’m a D-​backs fan, and I don’t have any qualms with the stadium.
Here’s what I expect from a baseball stadium
1) Beer & other alcohol. Yes, it will be expensive. Don’t go to a major league game and expect it to be easy on the wallet. Well guess what? They have beer!!! $ 12.50 for a Coors Light tall can for those worried about money.
2) Food options. Chase offers food! Everything from pizza to sandwiches to normal game fare, fast food to sit down restaurants. The several options including chains such as Friday’s and Subway.
There are also several restaurants nearby that are not in the stadium. My group ate prior at an adjacent restaurant (Coach’s Corner) outside of the arena and it was quite good & affordable considering.
3) A decent field. The grass on the field was a little weak & patchy, but considering it’s a desert & an indoor arena with retractable roof, this is acceptable. Actually, I prefer an indoor arena with shoddy grass, compared to human cooking in 100+ PHX days.
4) A little creativity to distinguish yourself. This field offers a pool. I’m sure you have to purchase tickets. But it’s cool, right? Also, indoor stadium with retractable roof: perfect!
5) Nearby lodging. There’s plenty of lodging nearby with a range of prices, which makes this nice if you’re traveling for game day or just don’t want to drive home afterwards.
6) Easy ingress and egress from the stadium. We got right in and right out through the gates. When we left, we walked up a couple of blocks and requested our über ride. I imagine this is more congested during prime games and events that coincide at Talking Stick, but I didn’t have issues.

I’m a Rays fan from Tampa and let me just tell you, coming from the WORST stadium in the game, this place is like paradise! I love baseball and this year am lucky enough to have a friend that enjoys it as much as I and we purchased a mini-​season ticket package.
So far I’ve been to 4 games this year and love this place. I mostly sit in the Club Level and really enjoy the view there but also it is much less crowded (no bathroom lines, ladies!) but also features the Draft Room. I believe this was a new addition to the stadium last year and features about 20 taps of delicious craft beer spotlighting local craft but also yummy national (AB Inbev) taps as well such as Elysian and 10 Barrel.
The stadium is nothing short of majestic when the roof is open and the sun is setting on a lovely nighttime ballgame. Truly breathtaking and then we often get free fireworks if it happens to be a Friday game. Such a great team with awesome giveaways, affordable concessions, and an overall amazing ballpark experience!

I’ve been here a couple of times now. I love the seating in here, even in the 300 section I had a good view of the Giants vs the Diamondbacks. You can also bring in your own bottled water and snacks. For those trying to save a few bucks, they offer value beer which is coors light or bud light on tap and other value concession items. For two of us, I think we spent $ 30 on concessions after 5 beers and a diamondbacks dog. Only thing is that its a bit of a cluster. uck when trying to leave.

I AM NOT A SNAKES FAN I AM A MARINERS fan. Look at my precious SEATTLE MARINERS baseball review. I BOUGHT TICKETS to this game because I thought they were playing the MARINERS. They were not, it was only RANDY JOHNSON night. This day couldn’t have gone ANY WORSE. Buckle in gram gram is HEATED.
We landed in Phenix Arizona. It was already 100 degrees. MELTED MY SWEAT OFF. When we arrived at the ballpark (in my MARINERS) gear they were having a ceremony. It was a
RANDY JOHBSON MR. Big unit (A NICKNAME SEATTLE GAVE TO HIM).
It was a BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY. Mr. Big unit (people called him this because he was tall. But IVE HEARD STORIES) said something that absolutely broke my heart.
«I never knew when I left Seattle, I still had my best years ahead of me».
Damnit Randy! That broke my heart. I was the only one there in Mariners gear. BUT DANG
RANDY I CHEERED FOR YOU ANYWAS.
Randy threw out the first pitch.
I decided to do a full lap around the stadium. Took about an hour but THE HEAT DONT STOP GRAM. actually they closed the roof and so I had to put on my cardigan. The stores in there sold me a beer koozie (22 oz. koozie) FYI. AND BIG LEAGUE CHEW. A PORTLAND COMPANY (where I currently reside.
The food options here were endless. I had a hot dog. A slice of pizza. And ice cream. Also, I grabbed a 22 beer to use the koozie. It was just what gram gram needed to push her through the NON MARINERS game.
They have a pool here (which THEY DIDNT LET ME I) but I would t want to swim during a BASEBALL game.
I was so hurt that my grandson lied to me about it. It being a Mariners game. Maybe he is just dumb I don’t know. But I had to forgive him. He is family.
I ALMOST FORGOT! THEY HANDED ME A RANDY JOHNSON PHOTO I CAN FRAME AND PUT NEXT TO MY OTHER RANDY JOHNSON JOHNSON PHOTO. Randy, mr King Felix, and Arizona randy. I can’t blame him for following his heart.
THANKS FOR THE YEARS RANDY. GLAD TO SEE YOURE DOING WELL. Also if you talk to the Jay Buner (the Bone) as they call him, tell him to stop his truck commercials.
All in all its a beautiful ballpark, but I can’t say that it is better than SEATTLE MARINERS
FIELD SAFECO.
Ok
Bye Randy.

This place is a DUMP!!!
–Horrible ushers and security. Rude, uninformed, discombobulated.
–Good luck if you try to go up to Friday’s.
–Wifi and cell coverage doesn’t work 90% of the time! So much for their «287 wifi hotspots.» You will lose coverage here guaranteed.
–Bleacher seats are dirty and poorly maintained.
–Can’t hear the PA announcer before or during the game
–No video scoreboard for anyone sitting in outfield!
–Outfield turf is HORRID. Yellow grass, visible cuts in center. Just all around bad.
–They have «value» hot dogs for $ 2 but they’re NOT on the menu /​you have to ask for them at certain/​hidden locations. Lame. Everything else (beer/​food) is outrageously expensive.
In general this is clearly a ballpark that doesn’t care about the fans or their facility.
Sad.

The Diamondbacks are ripping fans off in a big way. They charge «normal» prices on games from Fri-​Sunday and value pricing Monday-​Thursday. The only problem was at the Yankees games this week (mon-​Wed), they were still charging normal prices (AKA Jacked up prices).
The new food items including the Cheeseburger Dog and Bread Pudding Bites had prices which should be $ 10 and $ 8, but if you go a weekend game or a game the bigwigs decide they want to gauge you, the price shoots up to $ 11 and $ 9.50. The best defense is too eat outside the stadium, although the cheeseburger dog was pretty good.
They even stopped all the value pricing on the days they pick. Total BS.
Another tip is too park at the 5 hour meters for $ 7.50 compared to lots near stadium trying to charge $ 15-​$ 20 on those «special» nights.

Been to this ballpark a few times now and it is really setup up nice. It’s in downtown so there’s bars and other activities to do before a game, plus outside the park before a game there’s sometimes entertainment to view.
Entrance to the park is limited which to me would be the only downfall. Once inside if the roof is closed it gives you a nice cooled environment. Lots of places to stop inside to eat grab drinks or pick up souvenirs.
The site to see the game for free which I think is neat would be the TGIG connected above the left field stands. I hear if you get there early and get the seats inside the park you can watch for free.
The field is well layed out and players really have to drive it to put it out in center. Right field has a pool which would be a fun time to hangout at during a game.

I attended a game with my significant other
It was his 1^st Diamondbacks game, we got tickets from a friend who said he wasn’t going. I assumed it was nosebleed seats
Boy was I wrong!!! They were front row!
It was awesome
BEER, Hotdogs, nachos &&& baseball
Had a great time! Will definitely be coming back!

So I have been to a ton of Diamondbacks games here and have always had a great time, however, coming for a concert was an entirely different experience! We arrived right at 5 PM (when the concert was set to start) and stumbled into a HUGE mass of people; literally thousands of people. We ended up waiting in this mass (not even a line because there were so many people) for one hour and along with the thousands of people in the crowd, missed the first performer and part of the second one. I think that Chase Field is a great venue for concerts (wide open and airy), however, the entry process was a nightmare. People were shoving, fighting, yelling, everything that you can imagine would happen when thousands of people are pressed up against each other for an hour. Thank goodness it wasn’t very hot on Saturday because that would have made things even worse!
our seats were in the 200s, right on the edge. It was a fab spot because we could see everything and didn’t have to stand the entire 5 hours! However, when we went to get food or a drink, we had to wait in MORE lines! One time, we waited for 40 minutes to get a beer and food. Then, when we got to the front of the line, the service was horrendous. The cashier was incredibly rude and actually told us that ‘pouring beer was not her forte’. Our beers were half foam and she seemed frustrated with us and the fact that she had to pour the beer. She also asked us our order about 3 times with an annoyed tone in her voice.
All of that said, it seems that Chase has baseball games down pat, but other events here may need a little more attention! I don’t know if I will come back to a concert here, it was more stress that it was worth!

Came for the Kenny Chesney concert. We had floor seats. Let me just say that they didn’t think about how many people were on the floor. They only had 1 section for floor seats to come in. And the line was huge. My second complaint was that security was sad. Too many people without wrist bands keep stealing our seats. And standing around. Concert was good. It was also nice they had bathrooms for the field seats.

I’m not Diamondbacks fan just to be clear.
We live right up the road and take the light rail down to the front door of the stadium.
Very clean and user friendly stadium.
Very different experience when the roof is open compared to not.
It can seem gloomy if it is closed. Surprised they would ever close it.
Love the food selection. Right at the entrance is the taste of Chase where they have ginormous corndog, hotdogs and fried sandwiches. Anything and everything unhealthy.
Just to the left a little further is a place that sells $ 5 corn in the cob with toppings. Also they have tamales and you can get a great meal for 10 bucks.
The swimming pool suite seats is on my list of fun stuff to do.
Need to find out the pricing.
It’s sad that the stadium is never full. Good fun and great stadium!

Still 5 stars…
*Love the remodel of the team shop that was done last year. This year they have WAY more women’s merchandise and a lot if it is good. I’m not a fan of the PINK brand baseball gear or the bedazzled clothing but if that’s your thing, the team shop does not disappoint.
*Kid’s club check ins this year are super easy since the card is now on a lanyard, complete with barcode and Sunday game punch boxes. Very smart, keep it this way!
*LOCAL BEER!!! Finally! The Draft Room is the best place for beer in the stadium, but if you happen to be there on a day when there is a private party and you can’t get in, Paradise Valley Burger Co is a good second choice. I went down to get another beer at the top of the 7^th and they were closing though so that sucked. They also have great sweet potato tots.
*Easy light rail access.
*Friendly staff, from the box office to the ushers, for the most part. Those working in the kid’s area seem a little miserable (play areas, not at the kid’s club desk) as well as some of the elevator operator ladies.
Despite some little bumps in the road, it’s still a solid 5 stars. Favorite place to spend a Sunday afternoon in PHX.

State of the art ball field with a great variety of concessions and family atmosphere! Easy parking and access to the park.
If you you are on a budget get the Subway sandwiches or tacos otherwise splurge on the footlongs! Great way to spend an afternoon.

I really loved sitting on the Pet Smart Patio. The seats were comfortable and there felt like a lot of good space, not crowded. When you wanted to walk around it was very easy to get in and out and there are clean bathrooms really close. There is also a bar and LoLos Chicken and Waffles so if you dont like all you can eat hotdogs, you have other options.

This right here is a nice and modern park. I’ve never been a big fan of downtown Phoenix, or the Dbacks in general. But I like the ambiance of Chase. Parking is easy around the area, and the fans that attend are for the most park engaged in the game. There are a bunch of college students here due to its proximity to ASU in nearby Tempe.
I’ve been to my fair share of games here for an out of towner, and everytime I come, I really enjoy watching the game. Seats are comfortable and nicely spaced (unlike Fenway!). Concourses are nice and big. But the feature here is the retractable roof. It’s massive and pretty awesome when it’s open, letting in the desert sun. On summer nights, the AC is crazy strong, because it actually gets a little chilly with the roof closed.
Food is ok, but I’m spoiled being from the SF Bay Area. I’ll give it props though for keeping prices at «reasonable» levels so us lay people can actually afford to eat while catching a game.
All in all, good park — probably in the top 10 that I’ve been.
