US EditionArizona Lawmakers Send Chase Field Bill to Gov. Hobbs
- Arizona lawmakers passed HB2704 in June 2025 to fund renovations for Chase Field in Phoenix, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
- The bill follows years of negotiations prompted by the Diamondbacks' lease ending after the 2027 season and competition from other states funding stadium projects.
- HB2704 establishes a 30-year tax recapture fund diverting up to $500 million in sales and income taxes to repair the nearly 30-year-old stadium.
- Governor Katie Hobbs conveyed her enthusiasm about the legislature's approval of a bill aimed at ensuring the Diamondbacks remain in Phoenix while generating well-paying employment opportunities.
- The funding mechanism will allow the team and county to negotiate a new lease while excluding public funds from luxury upgrades, securing community economic benefits.
