A Guide to Chase Field
Chase Field, located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, was the first stadium in history to feature a retractable roof, air conditioning, and a natural grass playing field (since replaced), making it an engineering marvel built to defy the desert heat. While it has its quirks, a game here offers one of a kind features in a climate-controlled baseball experience.
Getting to the Ballpark
Chase Field's downtown location makes it accessible by car or public transit.
- Driving & Parking
- DrivingDowntown Phoenix is encircled by the I-10 and I-17 interstates making it easy to get to from the surrounding areas. The stadium itself is about a 10 min drive off of the highway though many of the surrounding streets are closed during events making traffic an issue, particularly after the game
- ParkingThe official Chase Field Garage (401 S. 4th St.) and the Jefferson St. Garage (333 E. Jefferson St.) are the closest and most convenient options. You can pre-book parking online via the Diamondbacks' website or third-party apps to guarantee a spot. Numerous other private and city-owned garages are within a 5-10 minute walk. Free parking can be found between Jefferson & Jackson and 9th-12th Streets or near Roosevelt Row but the 15-30 minute walk might not be ideal in the Arizona heat.
- Public TransitThe Valley Metro Light Rail runs 2 lines in the region. The A line runs east-west through Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix while the B line runs north-south through Phoenix. From the A line the 3rd St / Washington stop is a couple of blocks from Chase Field. From the B line you can walk about 10 from the Downtown Phoenix Hub transit station or transfer to the A line and go 1 stop to the 3rd St / Jefferson station directly in front of the stadium. Park-and-Ride lots are available at many stations along the route, allowing you to avoid downtown traffic entirely.
- RideshareThere are two designated rideshare zones on 5th St north of Washington or on Jackson St east of 9th St. Be prepared for surge pricing and heavy traffic immediately after the game.

Monuments & Unique Features
- Baseball, A Family TraditionLocated outside the main plaza, this bronze statue by Clarke Riedy depicts a father and his two children in baseball gear, capturing the spirit of the game.
- Based on BallsNear the box office, you can't miss this whimsical kinetic ball sculpture by George Rhoads. It's a Rube Goldberg-style machine with a baseball theme that mesmerizes kids and adults.
- Diamondbacks Hall of Fame & History MuseumLocated on the main concourse near Section 131, it's open to all ticketed fans. It includes the 2001 World Series Trophy, Cy Young and Gold Glove awards, game used memorabilia and exhibits on the team history and logos.
- Championship Banners & DisplaysWhile the Hall of Fame holds the artifacts, the main concourses are lined with displays celebrating the team's history. The most prominent are the banners and large scale graphics commemorating the 2001 World Series Championship. You will find massive photos and wall displays dedicated to the team's victory, particularly Luis Gonzalez's series winning hit, which have become permanent fixtures of the ballpark's interior.
- Retired NumbersAlong the upper levels and main concourses, you will see large, prominent displays for the team's retired numbers
- #20 Luis Gonzalez
- #51 Randy Johnson
- #42 Jackie Robinson (league wide)
- The Retractable Roof & A/CThe 9-million-pound roof can open or close in about four and a half minutes. For the vast majority of the season, it remains closed, allowing the air conditioning system to keep the ballpark at 78°F. As the system has aged it has struggled to keep the stadium cool, though renovations announced in 2025 will address and upgrade the system.
- From Grass to TurfWhile famous for being the first park to grow natural grass under a retractable roof, the team switched to a high tech synthetic turf in 2019. This provides a more consistent playing surface and helps with cooling efficiency. In moving to turf Chase Field eliminated the keyhole dirt strip between the mound and home, once an iconic part of the stadium.
