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年开幕的 BOB是世界上第一座可以开合，并且拥有天然草皮的球场。当 MLB 宣布将会在凤凰城扩张球队的同时，这个球场就是为了这个新队伍而建的。而不只 是一座球场而已，因为沙漠气候的关系，这座球场还有个可以开合的屋顶。 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. 这也让 BOB变成了第一座有天然草皮并且可以开合的球场，有空调，并且可以 在五分钟内关屋顶。五月第一个礼拜之後，很多比赛都是关着屋顶打的。外观看 起来像个大型机场的建物，开始建造於 1995 年的十一月 16 日。Bank one买下 了球场的命名权，所以球场叫做 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.
