Arizona Diamondbacks – replacement or repairs for Chase Field unlikely

It appears the Arizona Diamondbacks, at least in the near future, will continue to play baseball in Chase Field without the repairs they seek.

At the same time, a potential sale of Chase Field to Stadium Real Estate Partners II is dead for now. When the Diamondbacks put out a figure on $187 million for Chase Field repairs, Maricopa county officials said that number was unrealistic. In their wish list, the Diamondbacks would like to have a new, air conditioning unit, updated and enhanced scoreboards and other improvements.

While the NHL Arizona Coyotes recently announced a partnership with Arizona State University to build a new arena on the ASU campus, the Diamondbacks, along with the NBA Phoenix Suns, continue to seek improvements to their buildings at worst or a new facility for each at best.
