| - Chase field is an amazing place to catch a baseball game or other event. It's climate controlled so it's always comfortable, the seats are nice, and the grounds crew keeps it clean. Of course when you get 50,000+ people into a building it will get a little messy as the event goes on, but they are constantly cleaning it up. The vendors are all pleasant, speak English, and offer assistance when ever needed. In light of recent events in L.A. I can say without a doubt that I have never felt unsafe at Chase Field either, regardless of what teams are playing or who I'm rooting for. While Downtown you'll see many police officers making sure everyone behaves themselves as well as security inside the stadium.
If you have the ability to watch your event in one of the many suites I highly recommend it as they come fully stocked with beer, wine, really delicious food, and a flat screen TV. If not I always enjoy the Front Row at TGIFridays. They also have plenty of cheap seats that still give a great view of the field. Now that the light rail has a stop just a block away from the field, 3rd St. & Washington I think, I can't recall the last time I drove to Downtown Phoenix. I recommend parking at one of the many light rail park and ride locations and purchasing a $3.50 pass. This pass will last you all day, and you can ride as often as you'd like. If you do drive parking is easy as there are tons of parking garages located around the field and in Downtown Phoenix. You'll be looking at a price of $10-$20, and of course, the closer you are the more expensive the parking.
