During negotiations with local officials, Diamondbacks' CEO Derrick Hall criticized a proposed lease extension as 'ridiculous,' emphasizing the team's need for public funding for upgrades.
Hall expressed frustration over the county's proposal stating that the Diamondbacks would need to invest $150MM without public funding while seeking to develop an entertainment district.
Negotiations are challenged by a significant financial gap, with both sides tens of millions apart over the investments required for enhancements and surrounding developments.
Hall further critiqued the county's stance, highlighting the restrictions on exploring development opportunities without substantial upfront costs, undermining the team's broader objectives at the ballpark.
