 Chase
Field
Phoenix, AZ
Each spring and summer, Chase Field
is home to its main tenant the Arizona Diamond-backs (MLB). Each
winter the facility hosts several other events including the Insight
Bowl that matches teams from the Big East and Pac 10 Conferences. Opening in 1998, Chase
Field was the first stadium ever built to have a retractable
roof and natural grass. A retractable roof was needed because of the
desert heat. The ballpark was constructed for the Arizona Diamondbacks
and opened in March 1998.

A four tier grandstand extends from the left field
foul pole to homeplate, and around to the right field foul pole.
Bleacher seats are behind both the left and right field fences. A 25
foot center field wall serves as the hitters back drop . Above it is
the main scoreboard. For football, the gridiron is laid out over the
infield and left field. Bleachers are placed in what would be right
field for baseball. The Insight Bowl has been played at Chase Field since 2000 and will move to the Arizona Cardinals new stadium
in 2006. Prior to the game being played at Chase Field, it was
played at Arizona Stadium in Tempe.
