It is the [[ballpark]] of [[Major League Baseball]]'s [[Arizona Diamondbacks]]. It opened in [[1998 Arizona Diamondbacks season|1998]], the year the Diamondbacks debuted as an [[expansion team]]. Chase Field was the first stadium built in the United States with a [[retractable roof]] over a natural grass playing surface, although it has used [[artificial turf]] since 2019. ==History== The park was built during a wave of new, baseball-only parks in the 1990s. Although nearly all of those parks were open-air, it was taken for granted that a domed stadium was a must for a major-league team to be viable in the Phoenix area. Phoenix is by far the hottest major city in North America; the average high temperature during baseball's regular season is {{convert|99.1|Β°F|Β°C }}, and game-time temperatures well above {{convert|100|Β°F|Β°C }} are common during the summer. ===Stadium funding=== In the spring of 1994, the [[Maricopa County, Arizona|Maricopa County]] [[Maricopa County Board of Supervisors|Board of Supervisors]] approved a 0.25 percent increase in the county sales tax to pay for their portion of the stadium funding. That happened during a huge county budget deficit and lack of funding for other services. The sales tax was very unpopular with local citizens, who were not permitted to vote on funding a baseball stadium with general sales tax revenue (use of public subsidies for stadium projects was prohibited by a 1989 referendum). The issue was so controversial and divisive that, in August 1997, Maricopa County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox was shot and injured while leaving a county board meeting by Larry Naman, a homeless man, who attempted to argue in court that her support for the tax justified his attack. In May 1998, Naman was found guilty of attempted first-degree murder.<ref name="asu1">{{cite news |last1=Kelly |first1=Charles |title=Jury Finds Naman Guilty, Homeless Man Convicted of Attempted Murder In Shooting |url=http://aspin.asu.edu/hpn/archives/may98/0072.html |work=The Arizona Republic |date=May 6, 1998 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070804190859/http://aspin.asu.edu/hpn/archives/may98/0072.html |archive-date=August 4, 2007}}</ref> The cost of the stadium was estimated at $279 million in 1995,<ref>[http://phoenix.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/1996/09/02/story6.html Ballpark-Brick Sale to Offset Costs] Bizjournals.com</ref> but cost overruns, in part because of rising prices for steel and other materials, pushed the cost to $364 million.<ref>[http://phoenix.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/1998/07/13/story2.html?t=printable D-Backs Expect Skyrocketing Results From BOB] Bizjournals.com</ref> As part of the stadium deal, the Diamondbacks were responsible for all construction costs over $253 million. The extra expenses, combined with the Diamondbacks and the other expansion franchise, the [[Tampa Bay Rays|Tampa Bay Devil Rays]], not being allowed to share in national MLB revenue for their first five years of operations, left the Diamondbacks in a less-than-desirable financial situation, which came back to haunt team founder and managing partner [[Jerry Colangelo]] and his group. ===Since 1996=== Construction on the park began in 1996, and was finished just before the Diamondbacks' first season, in [[1998 Major League Baseball season|1998]]. It was the third MLB stadium to have a retractable roof and the first in the United States (at the time, only Toronto's SkyDome ([[Rogers Centre]]) and Montreal's Olympic Stadium had them; others since are [[Daikin Park]] in Houston, [[American Family Field]] in Milwaukee, [[Globe Life Field]] in Arlington, [[T-Mobile Park]] in Seattle, and [[LoanDepot Park]] in Miami). It was also the first ballpark to feature natural grass in a retractable roof stadium. The stadium hosted Games 1, 2, 6, and 7 of the [[2001 World Series]] between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the [[2001 New York Yankees season|New York Yankees]]. The [[2001 Arizona Diamondbacks season|Diamondbacks]] won all four home games, winning the title in seven games, and thus denying the Yankees a fourth consecutive championship. It was only the third time that the home team won all games of a World Series, with the other two instances occurring in {{wsy|1987}} and {{wsy|1991}}, both by the [[Minnesota Twins]]. In March 2006, Chase Field played host to three first-round games of the [[2006 World Baseball Classic|World Baseball Classic]]. Chase Field hosted the [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game]] in [[2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|2011]].<ref name="usatoday7-12-2011">{{cite web|last=Dodd|first=Mike|date=July 12, 2011|title=Diamondbacks Are Experts at Keeping Heat at Bay|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2011-07-12-all-star-game-heat_n.htm|access-date=July 21, 2014|newspaper=[[USA Today]]}}</ref> Chase Field hosted the [[2017 National League Wild Card Game]] between the Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies. This was the D-Backs' first appearance in the postseason as a Wild Card team. The D-Backs won 11β8 and advanced to the 2017 NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers but were swept in three games. Game 3 was held at Chase Field, when the D-Backs lost 3β1.

This dirt strip, sometimes known as the "keyhole", was very common in old-time ballparks up to 1938. The dirt strip was removed when synthetic turf was installed and since then, [[Comerica Park]] is the only park to have one. The park's foul territory is somewhat larger than that for most ballparks built in the 1990s. With 80% of the seats in foul territory, the upper deck is one of the highest in the majors. The park's suites are tucked far under the third deck, which keeps the upper deck closer to the action, with the exception of the Dugout Suites which sit next to the home and visitor's dugouts. Before the [[2008 Major League Baseball season|2008 season]] began, an [[High-definition video|HD]] scoreboard was installed beyond center field, replacing the original. The new scoreboard is {{convert|46|ft|m|abbr=on}} high and {{convert|136|ft|m|abbr=on}} wide and cost $14 million. It is the fifth-largest HD screen in Major League Baseball behind [[Kauffman Stadium]].

The bowl, which has undergone several naming changes, remained in Tempe for nine playings, then returned to Chase Field starting with the January 2016 edition. In October 2024, the game was renamed as the [[Rate Bowl]] due to a rebranding of the corporate sponsor.<ref>{{cite web |title=Downtown Phoenix bowl game renamed Rate Bowl as part of rebrand |url=https://azbigmedia.com/business/downtown-phoenix-bowl-game-renamed-rate-bowl-as-part-of-rebrand/ |website=azbigmedia.com |date=October 17, 2024 |accessdate=October 17, 2024}}</ref> Chase Field has staged nine [[women's college basketball]] games.

Even with the roof closed, the park's windows allow enough sunlight to play in daylight without overheating the stadium. The roof takes about 4Β½ minutes to open or close at a cost of $2β$3. While the ballpark had a grass surface, the roof would be kept open to expose the turf to sunlight. When necessary, it would be closed three hours before game time using two 200-horsepower motors triggered from a control room in the upper deck above left-center field.<ref name="usatoday7-12-2011" /> A massive [[HVAC]] system then dropped the temperature inside the park to about 78 Β°F (25.5 Β°C) by the time the gates opened. The chilled-water system, which has cooling power sufficient for 2,500 homes of {{convert|2000|sqft}}, also serves more than 30 buildings in downtown Phoenix.<ref name="usatoday7-12-2011" /> The cooling plant, located in a separate building next to the ballpark, freezes water overnight to reduce daytime electricity demand.<ref name="usatoday7-12-2011" /> Originally, the HVAC system did not cool above row 25 of the upper level, exposing fans in the higher rows to the brunt of Phoenix' oppressive summer heat. Subsequent improvements kept virtually all of the facility in air-conditioned comfort.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://home.utah.edu/~u0511816/chase_history.html|title=History of Chase Field|website=home.utah.edu}}</ref> [[File:Chase Field 2017 panoramic.jpg|thumb|center|Panoramic of Diamondbacks vs. Rockies game July 2, 2017|600px]] Following the introduction of a synthetic playing surface, the roof is kept mostly closed and is opened only on game days when weather permits, greatly reducing the facility's demand on the HVAC system. ==Transportation== Chase Field is served by westbound [[Valley Metro Light Rail|Valley Metro Light Rail's]] [[Washington at 3rd Street (Valley Metro Rail station)|Washington at 3rd Street station]] and eastbound Jefferson at 3rd Street station. ==Climate== {| |- |{{climate chart | Chase Field | 6| 19| 23 | 7| 21| 25 | 9| 25| 48 | 11| 29| 24 | 14| 32| 6 | 15| 33| 1 | 17| 36| 3 | 18| 36| 8 | 18| 36| 8 | 14| 30| 6 | 9| 24| 24 | 6| 18| 54 |float=left |clear=left |source = <ref name = "nasa">{{Cite web|url= http://neo.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/dataset_index.php|title= NASA Earth Observations Data Set Index|access-date= 30 January 2016|publisher= NASA|archive-date= August 6, 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130806035941/http://neo.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/dataset_index.php|url-status= dead}}</ref> }} |} ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== {{Commons category|Chase Field}} {{Portal|Arizona}} * [https://www.mlb.com/dbacks/ballpark/ Stadium site on MLB.com] * [http://www.azchasefield.com/ Official Site] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160713184013/http://www.azchasefield.com/ |date=July 13, 2016 }} * [https://web.archive.org/web/20120530115713/http://www.desertlivingtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/chase-field.jpg Stadium picture] * [http://www.sportsandentertainmentnews.com Chase Field Page at S&E News] * [http://wheresmyseat.net/chase-field-phoenix-az/ Chase Field Seating Chart] {{Arizona Diamondbacks}} {{MLB Ballparks}} {{2006 World Baseball Classic Stadiums}} {{2013 World Baseball Classic Stadiums}} {{2023 World Baseball Classic Stadiums}} {{Music venues of Arizona}} {{JPMorgan Chase}} {{AMA Supercross venues}} {{Guaranteed Rate Bowl navbox}} {{NCAA Division I FBS bowl game stadium navbox}} {{Authority control}} [[Category:Arizona Diamondbacks stadiums]] [[Category:Baseball venues in Arizona]] [[Category:Sports venues completed in 1998]] [[Category:JPMorgan Chase buildings]] [[Category:Major League Baseball venues]] [[Category:Defunct NCAA bowl game venues]] [[Category:Retractable-roof stadiums in the United States]] [[Category:Soccer venues in Arizona]] [[Category:Sports venues in Phoenix, Arizona]] [[Category:Basketball venues in Arizona]] [[Category:1998 establishments in Arizona]]
