Details announced of Arizona Diamondbacks Fan Fest next Saturday

It’s an interesting decision by the team to move the event from downtown Phoenix to Scottsdale. I’ve got to think it’s related to the ongoing spat between them and Maricopa County over the stadium. While they are contractually obligated to play home games at Chase, there’s no such requirement for the Fan Fest, and this would appear to be a statement of, “See? We have other options...” Mind you, I’m not sure it’s a wise decision. SRF is hell to get in, park at and get out of for a game, with 15,000 people. There will be significantly more, perhaps close to twice as many, on Saturday, though admittedly not all arriving and departing at the same point.
