Arizona Diamondbacks Game Day Guide — Chase Field
Chase Field · Phoenix
The Arizona Diamondbacks play at Chase Field in downtown Phoenix — one of baseball's most distinctive ballparks, with a retractable roof and the famous swimming pool beyond the right-field fence. The air conditioning makes summer day games genuinely comfortable, and downtown's bars and restaurants are right outside the gates.
Season
The MLB regular season runs from late March or early April through September, with 81 home games — so there's almost always a game during the season. Playoffs run into October when the D-backs qualify.
Game Day
Gates usually open about 90 minutes before first pitch. With the roof closed and the A/C on, even a July afternoon game is comfortable. The downtown location means you can pair the game with dinner and drinks within a couple of blocks.
