The stadium has been designed with the quality standards of major leagues, and during its creative process it was approved by the board of the Arizona Diamond Backs and representatives of MLB. The interior structure of the playing field has been designed, built and supervised in accordance with international standards and high-tech materials under the surface of the field. Sand, gravel, clay, grass, drains, irrigation and a precise tracing on its slopes and surfaces create the ideal conditions for the sport of baseball at the highest level.

The building is defined by a single envelope gesture that builds the geometry of the stadium from the base, housing the playing field which is bound by a perimeter of slopes arising from the ground. These build the interiors of the stadium accompanied by a landscape architecture that outlines the environment between volumes, creating access and pedestrian paths that lead into the building.
