 CHASE FIELD
Phoenix Arizona
Diamondbacks vs Rockies
Diamondbacks win!!



4 gates at the Bismarck airport...totally in the middle of a farm! Thanks to Jennifer for taking us to the airport!


Craig's Grandma Mona bought him this t-shirt 12 years ago! Bet she didn't think he'd be wearing it to a Diamondbacks game 12 years later! I bought this Diamondbacks jersey at a garage sale for $1 before I even had kids....it fit Austin perfect! Meant to be! They changed their colors to red now instead of purple and black...but it was still fun! :)



The Sandlot...they had a field and playground for kids!! The kids could take batting practice from an actual "coach" in uniform! Austin was very serious and smacked the ball like crazy! Katelynn was stylin in her sundress and hit great too!


Seats up high! The kids asked if we could sit up that high again! They loved it!


Baxter, the bobcat....signs autographs from his "den" in the 4th inning. Good thing we did sit way up high...that's where the den, playground, and little field are!





 
Getting tired? The 2 hour time switch was a little rough.
End of game was 9:30 which is 11:30 our time!


Didn't mind this dome at all...especially since it was 110 degrees in Phoenix! The grass is real and it is a great place to watch a game. The fan support is not great even though they are 1st in their division...dissapointing!


Uptown (Upton), who Craig has on his homerun team....no homeruns this game!


With no fans...we were able to move close. We moved around a bit after the 4th inning. Ended up here at the end of the game.
Rode the lightrail to and from game. We met a lot of nice people..some from MN (Connie...you would have LOVED it!) We ended up seeing one of the couples on the way back too! Very strange man on the lightrail sat across from us on the way back...creepy! Thought he was trying to get his pants off so we moved!!
Hotel was nice! We were all tired when we got back!
We all liked Chase Field!
