The Arizona Diamondbacks sued the Maricopa County Stadium District as they seek to get out of their lease or find other stadium options or partnerships to possibly get a new stadium built.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Maricopa County Superior Court.
"It is extremely unfortunate that we have been forced to take action today following several years of attempts to resolve this matter out of court," Diamondbacks managing general partner Ken Kendrick said in a statement. "We have made a promise to our fans, who have been partners with us on the building of this stadium and our franchise, to provide the best experience in all of baseball in a safe and welcoming environment.
