Diamond Backs game (Mesa, Chandler, Tempe: rental car, rental, taxis)

[lubby]

How is parking? The game is on a Monday night. We have a rental car. I heard it's hard to get cabs after the game is over. Is traffic bad? We are staying in Chandler on Frye road.

Traffic shouldn’t be too bad and parking is plentiful. It’s no problem to get an Uber or a Lyft if you don’t feel like dealing with that. Also, Diamondbacks is one word.

I have a question about games: do ushers prevent you from returning to your seat after getting food or using the bathroom until an out or break in the action or are you able to go to and from your seat freely?

There is no controlled movement.

Thanks. There is at Coors Field. It's something I had never experienced before. Not a fan.

There are signs at the top of each aisle requesting that you wait until the end of an at-bat to head down but nobody pays any attention. I once stood there waiting and an usher told me that I could go down. I responded that I could not and pointed to the sign next to her which she seemed to be unaware of. It's common courtesy but...

As to taxis, if you want one, there will be a long line of them waiting at the northwest corner of 3rd St. and Jefferson, one block from the ballpark.

why don't you just take the light rail?

We generally park at the garage on Washington, between 5th and 7th streets. It's very convenient, literally right across the street from Chase Field. Last time we used it, the fee was $12. Traffic is generally not an issue, although I think there's a concert at Talking Stick arena tonight (where the Suns play) which could add to the traffic if they're both over at similar times.

Parking is ample. You could even park at a Park & Ride in Mesa or Tempe and light rail in.

It is a Shania Twain concert...expect lots of traffic.
