Chase Field is now the fourth-oldest ballpark in the National League, younger only than Wrigley, Dodger Stadium and Coors. As is well-recorded, the park is suffering from a range of different ailments, not least the struggles of the air-conditioning to keep up with the ever-increasing heat of Phoenix summers. This is something which could take multiple off-seasons to address, but is just one of a number of upgrades, fixes and general changes that the team is looking to carry out. There’s a new scoreboard for 2026, but what other updates or modifications would you like to see to our home field?
How would you change Chase Field?
Let’s go wild, and presume money is no object. Though “relocating it to Tucson” is probably slightly outside the realm of possibility, much though our southern members might want that! But otherwise? Have at it. Should the capacity be reduced? For Chase is now the second-largest capacity in the majors, behind just the Death Star. How should that be done? What facilities and features would you like to add to the park? This can be large scale – nacho slides? – or go down to finer elements, for example any specific food and beverages which you want to add to the offerings at Chase.
