Chase Field Seating Information

Chase Field in Phoenix is the home of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks. The stadium opened in 1998 before the Diamondbacks' first game as an expansion team. The D'backs, as they are commonly known, experienced a great deal of success early on, culminating in one of the greatest games in baseball history: Game 7 of 2001 World Series. In that game, the D'backs ended the New York Yankees' reign as three-time champions when Luis Gonzalez's bloop single off ace closer Mariano Rivera brought the franchise its first and only championship. Since then, the club has struggled to maintain the same level of success.

  1. Features

    • Originally known as Bank One Ballpark (aka The BOB), Chase Field is a 49,000-seat retractable roof stadium in Phoenix. The retractable roof was necessary to keep fans cool during the dry, hot summers. The roof can be opened and closed in just over four minutes. It even has its own opening and closing music. Inside the stadium, the most unique feature is the swimming pool in right-center field. The pool is easily reachable for big league hitters, sitting 415 feet from home plate. One of the newest features of the stadium is a state-of-the-art 136-by-46-foot high-definition scoreboard in center field. The board was built during the 2007-08 offseason and was unveiled to spectators before the D'backs home opener in 2008.

    Types of Seating

    • Seating at Chase Field is broken down into three levels: Field Level, Insight Diamond Level and the Upper Level. The field level includes the boxes around home plate and the baselines and the bleachers in the outfield. The Diamond Level includes the club seats on the second level and the bullpen levels. The upper levels fill out the stadium and are the lowest priced seats in the house.

    Pricing

    • Single game tickets for the lower levels range between $150 to $15 for a single game, as of 2010. The highest priced tickets are the club boxes behind home plate, while the bleachers are the cheapest. Diamond level seats are between $90 and $25 for a single game, while upper level seats are as low as $8 for upper reserve seats. Season tickets are less expensive on a per-game basis. The club also charges extra for what are deemed "premier" games, usually weekend tilts with teams that have a large number of visiting fans like the Chicago Cubs or the Los Angeles Dodgers.

    Handicapped Seating

    • In Chase Field, all seats are handicapped-accessible except for the dugout boxes. Wheelchair-accessible areas also come with companion seats and there is also the Assessable Seating Klub, which provides reserved seating for the handicapped throughout the ballpark. The park provides hand radios for the hearing impaired that amplify the public address system.

    Children's Seating

    • All kids over the age of two must have a ticket and a seat of their own. Children who have trouble seeing can get a booster seat from guest services in sections 128 and 322. Parents afraid of being separated from their children can get a wristband at the guest services section.
