The Diamondbacks play at Chase Field which was built in 1998 and seats 49,003. The Diamondbacks played the Atlanta Braves and Curt Schilling had a no decision as the Diamondbacks lost 4-3 in 13 innings. The game was tied through 12 and Atlanta's Andruw Jones hit a home run in the top of the 13th. Curt had 11 strikeouts during his pitching time as shown by the Circle Ks in the one picture. Many pictures did not turn out very well and I think it was caused by the bright lighting and a closed roof. I couldn't get any good pictures from the 100 level because I couldn't get close enough to the field. The couple shown with us in the picture are Marv and Elaine who are parents of an Oregon friend. I was glad that Marv got our tickets two weeks ago because it was a sell-out with the largest crowd in 2002 of 50,028. We sat in Row 35 just up from the edge of the infield grass. We had our own private row of 4 seats. Look at the right end of the air conditioning tube where it turns down and you might be able to see Andrea, Marv, and Elaine. There are up to 40 rows in parts of the 300 level. This is worse than it was in the Kingdome. There is a swimming pool down the right field line that can be rented for your group, see picture. We saw the World Series trophy in the lobby of the stadium. It is painted on the outside, see first picture. Baxter, the Wildcat, is the mascot. One of the food stands is titled "Taste the Majors". It has one special food item from each NL team field. It has three McDonald's in different areas of the ballpark. We would say this is the best food selection so far. The field lines are RF-335', CF-407', LF-330', and RC & LC vary from 376'-413' in both fields. The box score at the end of 13 innings was Braves R-4, H-10, E-0 and DBacks R-3, H-11, E-1. New logo.
