Considered by many to be among the future leaders of the game, Arizona Diamondbacks President & CEO Derrick Hall has turned the D-backs into a model franchise within the sports industry and throughout the business world during his six years at the helm of the club.

With a focus on creating the best fan experience in all of sports, Hall has succeeded in accomplishing that goal at both Chase Field and at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, the D-backs’ Spring Training home near Scottsdale. Stadium enhancements at Chase Field that have taken place under Hall’s guidance include the APS solar shade structure in the plaza area, new HD scoreboard in center field, the St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center’s Sandlot on the upper level, the Miller Lite Diamond Club, All-You-Can-Eat Seats on the Insight Diamond level and value-item pricing at concession stands and Team Shop locations throughout the ballpark. Hall also installed, named and created a FAWTSY (Find A Way To Say Yes) customer service policy throughout the organization to further improve upon the extraordinary fan experience, while the team continues to offer the lowest average ticket prices in Major League Baseball.
