As an expansion team that was founded in 1998, the Arizona Diamondbacks have already made themselves into a big story and is a ball club that is going to part of Major League Baseball for a long time to come. Only three years after the team was formed, they treated their fans and ticket holders to a World Series win, the quickest an expansion team had ever become World Champions. Perhaps the Arizona fans knew something special was to come, because when the single game tickets went on sale on January 10, 1998 they were completely sold out by early afternoon of the same day.

Located in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, and only one block from America West Arena, where the NBA’s Phoenix Suns play, is beautiful Chase Field. Chase Field was built solely for the purpose of baseball and is a facility that is unrivaled for watching America’s favorite pastime. 80% of the seats are located within the foul poles, there is no upper deck surrounding the outfield, and the seats along the baselines are angled slightly towards second base so none of the ticket holders need to twist in their seat to see the action on the field. Chase Field has a retractable roof and amenities such as a picnic area, a pool, and 69 private luxury suites designed to offer the utmost in comfort and catering.

In June of 2000, the Diamondbacks added the kid friendly team mascot Baxter the Bobcat. Shortly after his introduction, he became a fan favorite with his antics and acrobatics. For a few innings every game, Baxter can be found off the main concourse in Baxter’s Den. Children of all ages are welcome to come and visit with Baxter as well as take photos and get an autograph.

After their inaugural year, the Arizona Diamond Backs signed free agent and soon to be baseball superstar pitcher, Randy Johnson. Arizona Diamondback ticket sales skyrocketed as this amazing pitcher made history on a seemingly daily basis. Some of the highlights of his stint with the Arizona Diamondbacks were his history making three consecutive seasons of 300-plus strikeouts per season, his five Cy Young awards, numerous complete games, and a stunning perfect game at the age of 40 years old. He was also a major part of the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 World Series victory over the New York Yankees, a.k.a. the Bronx Bombers

After some retooling of the team and bringing back some of the old favorites, next year’s team is looking to make their way back to the top of the National League Division West. Perhaps we’ll see some swinging of the bats at Chase Field during this year’s post season. One thing is for sure, if you get Arizona Diamondbacks tickets, you’ll see a game involving one of the most interesting expansion teams to ever be part of Major League Baseball.
