Bank One Ballpark
Opening in 1998, Bank One Ballpark was the first stadium ever built to have a
retractable roof and natural grass. With MLB's announcement that Phoenix
would be awarded an expansion team, a new stadium was built for the team. Not
just a regular stadium was built, but a retractable roof stadium, because of
the desert heat.
1998年開幕的 BOB是世界上第一座可以開合，並且擁有天然草皮的球場。當 MLB
宣布將會在鳳凰城擴張球隊的同時，這個球場就是為了這個新隊伍而建的。而不只
是一座球場而已，因為沙漠氣候的關係，這座球場還有個可以開合的屋頂。
It became the first stadium with natural grass and a
retractable roof, that closes in
five minutes, with air conditioning. After the first week of May, many games
are played with the roof closed. Shaped like a massive airport hanger,
construction on the stadium began November 16, 1995. Bank One bought the
naming rights, and the stadium was named Bank One Ballpark.
這也讓 BOB變成了第一座有天然草皮並且可以開合的球場，有空調，並且可以
在五分鐘內關屋頂。五月第一個禮拜之後，很多比賽都是關著屋頂打的。外觀看
起來像個大型機場的建物，開始建造於 1995 年的十一月 16 日。Bank one買下
了球場的命名權，所以球場叫做 Bank one ballpark。
Opening night for Bank One Ballpark came on March 31, 1998. Over 3.6 million
fans filled the ballpark's seats, to see the Arizona Diamondbacks during
their first year of play. A four tier grandstand extends from the left field
foul pole to homeplate, and around to the right field foul pole. Bleacher
seats are behind both the left and right field fences. A 25 foot center field
wall serves as the hitters back drop . Above it is the main scoreboard. The
most unusual feature at Bank One Ballpark, is the swimming pool, which is
located behind part of the right field fence. Other than the swimming pool,
Bank One Ballpark has many other amenities. Memorabilia from the Baseball
Hall of Fame is located at the Cox Clubhouse. Fans can find videos and
displays detailing the history of baseball at the Fox Sport Net Arizona
Diamondtown. Overlooking left field and third base is Friday's Front Row
Sports Grill, which offers food and entertainment.
1998年三月 31 日，是 BOB的開幕日。超過三萬六千名觀眾擠近了球場，觀看
亞利桑納響尾蛇隊第一季的比賽。外野一直延伸到本壘板有四層看台。bleacher是
從左右外野的欄杆後面。中外野 25 呎的全壘打牆，當成外野的最後一道防線。在
牆後的是主要計分板，擺在右外野牆後的，對一個球場最不尋常的是一座游泳池。
游泳池之外， BOB也有許多設施。名人堂紀念館在 cox clubhouse。球迷們可以可
以在 Fox Sport Net Arizona Diamondtown裡面找到過去的影像和記錄。而左外野
一直到三壘就是一堆賣吃的和玩的地方。
