Chase Field Pregame Guide
Arizona Diamondbacks · Phoenix, AZ
Chase Field runs two gate clocks and an early-entry tier on top of them. Gates open 90 minutes before first pitch Sunday through Friday and two hours before on Saturdays. Advantage Members get in 30 minutes ahead of the main gates on Fridays and Saturdays at Gates B and J, and members of 20 years or more enter through the History and Championship Museum entrance. The club sells parking in advance through its own site rather than leaving it to the day.
Tips & Fan Reports
Book parking ahead through the club rather than arriving to look for a space downtown.
The museum entrance is the 20-year member route, not a general one.
Advantage Members should head for Gate B or J on a Friday or Saturday for the extra half hour.
Saturday gates open a half hour earlier than the rest of the week — two hours rather than 90 minutes.
Where to Go Before the Game
Gates B and J
Where Advantage Members enter 30 minutes before the main gates open on Fridays and Saturdays — the earliest general route into the ballpark.

The History and Championship Museum entrance
The entrance reserved for members of twenty years or more, which doubles as a way in past the museum rather than through a standard gate.
Known for 20+ year members · Through the museum
The reserved downtown parking
Parking around the ballpark in downtown Phoenix, which the club asks fans to reserve in advance through its own parking page rather than arriving to hunt for a space.
