Geocache Description:

This cache is placed in the vicinity of and in honor of the ballpark formerly known as BOB (Bank One Ballpark) where the Arizona Diamondbacks play Major League Baseball. Now renamed “Chase Field” the ballpark has arguably lost a bit of its charm, so this cache is here in an attempt to preserve its memory.

The cache location requires extreme stealth AND please be sure to be VERY careful when retrieving and replacing the cache.

Another reason for this cache is as an appropriate launching point for a Travel Bug, “Digit, the Dead Mascot” which was representative of Bank One. In Phoenix, the history of Bank One goes back to Valley National Bank, the oldest banking institution in the state of Arizona.

The cache is located in an area that would be very busy during game day and parking nearby might be impossible if you're not going to the game. Unless you're going to a ballgame, I'd suggest not trying for this cache on a home game day for the Diamondbacks, whose season runs from April through September (and into October if they make the playoffs). Check here for a schedule (red squares indicate home game days). When it's not a game day, however, it can be pretty desolate and muggle-free in the vicinity of the cache.

Here's the view of our beloved "BOB" taken from the ORIGINAL cache location back in 2006, but still "nearby":
