Well, we are in the middle of a major overhaul of the main AZ Vibe website at the moment and that includes this weekly article. As you can see we are transistioning to a new format and eventually will be moving the events and concerts off on the horizion to their own dedicate page. If you look at the Concerts format at the bottom of this page, each event has a link to either the ticket purchasing page or to an article with expanded coverage and information. This is the format we are going to be transferring to when the overhaul is done.

The top things to do this week is to catch opening day of Baseball at Chase Field. It’s an afternoon game, and if you can’t come down with a ’9 inning flu’ the Diamondbacks website have notes you can print out and give to your boss (no joke!).

It’s also First Friday tonight. One of the best reasons why Phoenix is such a great city.

Also catch a Phoenix Coyotes game. There’s two home games left in the regular season before the playoffs! Next week is Fan Appreciation day where they will have TONS of cool prizes to giveaway!

1) Arizona Diamondbacks 2010 Season -- Another season of Diamondbacks baseball begins on April 5th with an afternoon game against the San Diego Padres.
