The venue also has a full-service bar and VIP lounge, an extensive menu, and wall-to-wall TVs. The door of the new sportsbook & bar will welcome all clients all year-round. The new venue from the partnership with Fieri will need staff to tend to clients thus the establishments have a lot of vacancies.

“We believe this is a rare and exciting opportunity for individuals who are driven to deliver a high-quality, high-service dining experience for guests and sports fans,” said Derrick Hall, President & CEO of D-backs. 

“This is a chance to get in on the ground level of a unique, fresh and fun concept in food, gaming and baseball at Chase Field.” 

Over 30 Arizona locations have been featured in Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" television series. Flavortown Kitchen is one of them. It is a chain of delivery-only restaurants owned by Fieri, opened to serve customers in the Valley starting just last year.
