“The folks at Chase Field are really going out of their way to make this a first-class event for our student-athletes,” said AIA Executive Director David Hines. “We are really looking forward to seeing it all come together and crowning state champions on the field. We hope it will be a tremendous experience for everyone.”

The venue’s location offers competitors and spectators a wide variety of dining and entertainment options, as well as a host of hotels to choose from for schools traveling from out of town.
