PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks will remain at Chase Field for the next 30 years after Gov. Katie Hobbs signed a bill appropriating $500 million for renovations.
Hobbs signed House Bill 2704 atop the Diamondbacks' dugout as players warmed up for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Diamondbacks President and CEO Derrick Hall and bill sponsor Rep. Jeff Weninger joined Hobbs for the ceremony.
“Throughout all of the unforgettable moments and the history made here, Chase Field has largely gone unchanged, never once undergoing major renovation," Hobbs told reporters from near the dugout. “Fans have routinely shown up for this city, this state, and it’s time we show up for them.”
The bill will recapture sales taxes from the stadium and other adjacent buildings over the next 30 years
