They do know it gets hot as fuck in Phoenix in the summer, right? Yeah Chase Field has a retractable roof, but the spring training fields dont. Even night games can have temps in the high nineties.
Good point. They'd have to play games in the morning and late evening only.
I wonder how much it would cost them to alter the Cardinals stadium for baseball. Triple headers at each stadium would take care of a lot of that. Hell, the turf rolls out of the stadium for non football events, build a covered, irrigated enclosure so they don't lose it and slap a new field inside for baseball for the summer.
I'm sure it could be done. They'd probably have to remove seats to make room for all of the field to fit.
