High level, PHX is worried about the downtown blight an abandoned stadium will bring to downtown and wants to work something out to keep up their downtown destination momentum but the Diamondbacks want a location with more residential/commercial combo thats more the trend (cough Legends cough) and have been pitching other location like Henderson, NV (for leverage)
Plus back in the original 3-1 vote that approved Chase as a downtown stadium one of the 'yes' votes was shot by the opposition. So it can always get worse

And that stadium is only 25 years old with a retractable roof, restaurant in the outfield, pool in center field... and there was so much drama over the tax at the time, a county employee got shot by a homeless man.
