| - I'll begin with a disclaimer: I'm not a big diamondback's fan. (I know, boo me!) But with that said, a night out to Chase Field is almost certainly going to be a great one!
I've been to three or four games here, and as a venue, this location has a lot to offer. The retractable roof allows for a controlled, air-conditioned atmosphere when it's needed on the hottest days, and a lovely, open-air feel when the temperatures outside aren't scorching. The outfield even features a pool that you can rent out with a big group! (I believe this has to be done well in advance to actually make it happen.)
As for dining options, the field has everything from pizza to froyo to actual sit-down meal service with a view of the diamond. Vendors walk the stands selling lemonade, peanuts, beer, and other great ballpark goodies. It's also the only place you can get a 3ft corndog on a bed of fries! (And I hear that the subsequent heart attack is completely complimentary! What a deal!!!) Ok, I'll confess. I've actually tried it, and if you're splitting it with 3+ people, it's doable, but prepare for a food baby like no other.
So, even if you're not a diamondbacks fan, the games are a great time! Around the stadium you'll find a lot of fun things to do, and as it's just off of the light rail, parking doesn't have to be a hassle. Bring a glove, grab a beer, and 'Merica-out at the ballpark. It's what our founding fathers would have wanted.
