A bill that would allocate $500 million for renovations to keep the Arizona Diamondbacks playing at Chase Field in downtown Phoenix is facing uncertainty after being taken off a Senate agenda due to lack of support. Sponsored by Rep. Jeff Weninger, the bill aims to repair the nearly 30-year-old stadium. Despite passing in the House, it hit roadblocks in the Senate and may need more votes to proceed. If unsuccessful, the funding for stadium renovations could potentially be included in a larger budget deal made behind closed doors.
Weninger is focused on securing the necessary votes to pass the bill and keep the Diamondbacks in Arizona. The team has hinted at the possibility of relocating without a favorable stadium deal, but has expressed a desire to remain in downtown Phoenix. The future of the bill remains uncertain, with potential implications for the Diamondbacks’ future in the city. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
