The Chase Field was formerly known as Bank One Ballpark and opened in 1998 as the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was the first stadium built in the United States with a retractable roof over a natural grass playing surface.

The park was built during a wave of new, baseball-only parks in the 1990s. Although nearly all of these parks were open-air, it was taken for granted that a domed stadium was a must for a major-league team to be a viable venture in the Phoenix area due to its hot climate.

The nearest airport to the Chase Field is Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) which is located about 4 miles away from the arena. British Airways operates non-stop flights between London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) with a flight time of approximately 10 hours and 30 minutes.

If you are already in the US and looking to travel to/from Phoenix, then you have the choice of most US domestic airlines including Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, American Eagle, Frontier Airlines, Jet Blue, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airways and WestJet.
