Chase Field

from Backwards K Pod Hosted by Jake Robinson

After a half decade of missed opportunities, political wrangling, financial issues and eventually watching Denver and Miami, recieve new baseball franchises; the NBA Suns owner, Jerry Colangelo, becomes the face of a group, trying to bring a team to the Phoenix metropolitan area, in the next round of expansions, set to begin in 1998. This responsibility requires him to not only bring an MLB team to the Valley, but he also needs to garner support from the tax paying citizens of Maricopa County, for his $250M fundraising drive and public financing. This is the story of how the National League Champion, Arizona Diamondbacks, found their baseball roots in the desert, and the tecnologically advanced stadium, that was built almost 30 years ago, to house the new ballclub. #ArizonaDiamondbacks #Phoenix #BillVeek #ArizonaStateUniversity #CactusLeague #ArizonaFallLeague #MaricopaCounty #JerryColangelo #JoeGaragiolaJr #BankOneBallpark #ChaseField #MartinStone #BillBidwell #RandyJohnson #CurtSchilling #TonyWomack #LuisGonzalez
