2020 Arizona Diamondbacks Fan Fest Recap
Arizona Diamondbacks Left to right: Josh Rojas, Kevin Cron, Kole Calhoun, Mike Leake, and Kevin Ginkel.The Arizona Diamondbacks held their annual Fan Fest today at Chase Field for the first time since the 2016 season. Interestingly, the event was moved to Salt River Fields from 2017 through 2019 during a heated battle with Maricopa County over the future of Chase Field. I personally welcomed the change of venue to SRF for my own selfish reasons. Because of the multiple practice fields at Salt River, the team was able to spread the event and all of its features out effectively dispersing the large crowd of fans. They aren’t afforded that luxury at Chase Field having to cram some 30,000+ fans (my estimate) into a variety of lines. They attempted to work around this by using the multiple levels of Chase Field rather than keep everything on the field as they had in seasons past.
